Chicken Parmigiana Quesadillas
4 servings
30 minutes total

Ingredients

  • 10 ounces frozen breaded chicken tenders or strips
  • 8 medium-size flour tortillas
  • Cooking spray
  • 1 cup shredded Italian-blend cheese, divided
  • 1 ½ cups tomato pasta sauce, divided

Steps

    1. Preheat two-sided tabletop grill on medium. Place chicken tenders on microwave-safe plate. Microwave on HIGH 3–5 minutes or until heated. Cut chicken into bite-size pieces.
    2. Lightly coat 1 side of tortillas with spray. Arrange 4 tortillas on clean work surface (sprayed-side down). Divide ½ cup cheese and one-fourth of the chicken evenly over tortillas. Spoon marinara sauce evenly over the chicken, then sprinkle with remaining ½ cup cheese. Cover with remaining tortillas (sprayed-side up).
    3. Place 1 or 2 quesadillas on grill (depending on size of grill). Close grill and cook 4–5 minutes or until golden and chicken is 165°F. Remove from grill and let stand 2–3 minutes before cutting. Cook remaining quesadillas. Cut each quesadilla into wedges and serve.
    Note: Quesadillas may be cooked in large sauté pan preheated on medium. Double cooking time, turning once.
