Chicken Quesadilla Casserole image

A good mexican casserole that is also decently healthy! To make it truly guilt free, grill/boil the chicken instead of sauteing, substitute light cheese (or use less), and use corn or whole wheat tortillas. The difference is truly subtle, and can have a major impact on calories!

This recipe was a disaster! The chicken was tough and the cheese didn't melt. I would not recommend this recipe.

The chicken was a little dry, but the overall flavor was good. I would try it again with a different type of chicken.

This casserole was a little bland for my taste. I think I would add more spices next time.

This casserole was delicious! I used rotisserie chicken to save time, and it turned out great. I also added a can of black beans for some extra protein and fiber.

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The chicken is always tender and juicy, and the cheese is melted and gooey. I love that it's a one-pan dish, so clean-up is a breeze.
