Steps:
- Put a flameproof shallow baking pan on rack in upper third of oven and preheat oven to 500°F.
- Pat chicken dry. Cut scallions into 2-inch-long pieces, then toss with chicken, oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a bowl. Roast, without crowding, in hot pan until chicken is browned in spots and just cooked through, about 25 minutes.
- Transfer chicken and scallions to a serving dish, then straddle pan over 2 burners. Add wine and cook over medium heat, scraping up brown bits, 1 minute. Pour sauce over chicken.
Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh chicken, scallions, and other vegetables will give your quesadillas the best flavor.
- Season the chicken well: Don't be afraid to use plenty of spices and herbs to flavor the chicken. This will help to give your quesadillas a delicious and complex flavor.
- Use a good quality cheese: The type of cheese you use will make a big difference in the flavor of your quesadillas. Use a cheese that melts well and has a good flavor.
- Don't overcrowd the quesadillas: If you put too much filling in your quesadillas, they will be difficult to fold and cook evenly.
- Cook the quesadillas over medium heat: This will help to prevent them from burning.
- Serve the quesadillas immediately: Quesadillas are best served hot and fresh out of the pan.
