BUFFALO CHICKEN QUESADILLAS
This is an easy way to serve up a quick dinner with a lot of flavor! No need to use oil or butter to toast each side of the quesadilla, but you can if you'd like. I prefer a dry heat. Tortillas made with a corn-flour mixture work best. Serve with either Buffalo sauce, ranch dressing, or sour cream!

Steps:
- Place chicken tenders into a medium-sized pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce temperature to medium-low and simmer until chicken tenders are cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes. Drain chicken tenders. Transfer to a cutting board and cut or shred as desired.
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook shallot until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Combine cream cheese, ranch dressing, Buffalo sauce, and cooked shallots in a bowl; mix until creamy. Add cooked chicken and season with salt and pepper.
- Spread Buffalo chicken mixture onto a tortilla and top with Colby-Monterey Jack cheese and Gouda cheese. Cover with a second tortilla and set quesadilla aside. Repeat with remaining tortillas, chicken mixture, and cheese.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add 1 quesadilla and cook until browned on 1 side, about 3 minutes. Carefully flip and cook until tortilla is crisp and cheese is melted, about 3 more minutes. Repeat with remaining quesadillas.

COOKS COUNTRY BUFFALO CHICKEN QUESADILLAS
This is from the Cooks Country magazine. The flavor combination of the blue cheese, celery, and hot sauce is perfect. I added just a few more dashes of hot sauce to the chicken after I shredded it to make it a little more spicy.

COOKS COUNTRY BONELESS BUFFALO CHICKEN
I got this out of the Cooks Country Feb/March 2009 Magazine. Hubby and I loved it, both of us prefer the boneless style "wings". For the hot sauce, Cooks Country recommends Franks (which we used) over Tabasco. We served it with the standard Blue Cheese dressing (I made the Cooks Country version) and celery. Prep time is a total guess since I have not made this since last year. I can update it when I make it again (this weekend!).

Steps:
- Marinate: Cut chicken into about 1 1/2 inch chunks. Combine chicken, buttermilk, and salt in large zipper lock bag and refrigerate 30 minutes or up to 2 hours.

Tips:
- To ensure the chicken is evenly cooked, slice it thinly against the grain. This will help it cook quickly and prevent it from becoming tough.
- Use a variety of cheeses to create a flavorful quesadilla. A good combination is cheddar, mozzarella, and pepper jack cheese.
- To prevent the quesadilla from becoming soggy, use a moderate amount of sauce. You can always add more sauce later if desired.
- Cook the quesadilla over medium heat until the cheese is melted and bubbly. This will help to ensure that the quesadilla is cooked evenly throughout.
- Serve the quesadilla immediately with your favorite toppings, such as salsa, sour cream, and guacamole.
