Chef's Note
These quesadillas are perfect for using leftover rotisserie chicken - just shred and season! For picky eaters, you can easily customize each quesadilla with their preferred fillings. Keep the broccoli florets small for kid-friendly bites.

Ingredients
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 tbsp taco seasoning
8 count large flour tortillas
2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
4 cups broccoli florets
1/2 cup salsa
1/2 cup sour cream
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- 1
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- 2
Cut 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts into small, thin strips.
- 3
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken strips and cook for 6-8 minutes until no longer pink and cooked through.
- 4
Sprinkle 2 tbsp taco seasoning over the chicken and stir to coat evenly. Add 2 tbsp water to the pan and stir until chicken is well coated. Remove from heat.
- 5
Place 4 cups broccoli florets on a baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil and sprinkle with 1 tsp garlic powder, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/8 tsp black pepper. Toss to coat.
- 6
Spread broccoli in a single layer and roast in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, until edges are crispy and florets are tender.
- 7
While broccoli roasts, assemble the quesadillas: lay 4 large flour tortillas on a clean work surface.
- 8
Sprinkle 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese on half of each tortilla.
- 9
Divide the seasoned chicken evenly among the tortillas, placing it on top of the cheese.
- 10
Top the chicken with another 1/4 cup of shredded cheese on each tortilla.
- 11
Fold the empty half of each tortilla over the filled half to create a half-moon shape.
- 12
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Working with 1-2 quesadillas at a time (depending on pan size), cook for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and cheese is melted.
- 13
Cut each quesadilla into 3 triangles and serve with the roasted broccoli.
- 14
Serve with 1/2 cup salsa and 1/2 cup sour cream on the side for dipping.
