SLOW COOKER CHICKEN QUESADILLAS RECIPE - (4.3/5)

Steps:
- Spray cooker with non-stick cooking spray Place chicken breasts at the bottom of the cooker. Cover with tomatoes, chilies and cream cheese. Just dump it all in there and place lid on top. Cook in low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours. I couldn't wait any longer than 7 hours. After 6-7 hours, remove chicken and shred. Once completely shredded, place chicken back in cooker. Cook on low for an additional 30 minutes. Spray skillet with non-stick cooking spray. On medium heat, place tortillas in pan. Fill one half with chicken mix & cheese. Fold filled tortilla in half. Cook each side aprox 3-4 minutes until golden brown. Be careful of burning.
Tips:
- Prep the chicken beforehand: If you're short on time, you can cook the chicken ahead of time and shred it. This will make the quesadillas come together even faster.
- Use a variety of cheeses: Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of cheeses. A blend of cheddar, mozzarella, and pepper jack is a classic choice, but you could also try Monterey Jack, queso Oaxaca, or even goat cheese.
- Add your favorite toppings: Quesadillas are a great way to use up leftover ingredients. Try adding black beans, corn, diced tomatoes, or roasted red peppers.
- Cook the quesadillas until they're golden brown and crispy: This will ensure that the cheese is melted and gooey and that the tortillas are cooked through.
- Serve the quesadillas with your favorite dipping sauce: Salsa, guacamole, sour cream, or pico de gallo are all great options.
Conclusion:
Slow cooker cheesy chicken quesadillas are a quick and easy weeknight meal that the whole family will love. They're also a great way to use up leftover chicken. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a delicious and satisfying meal on the table in no time.
