This looked so good that I thought I would share it with all of you and at the same time keep it here for safekeeping. This is Wen Zientek's of answer to a question from a reader. Ingredients:
2 tablespoons organic low sodium chicken broth |
1/4 cup onion, chopped |
1 small garlic clove, minced |
1/4 cup bell pepper, chopped |
2 chili peppers, minced (to taste) |
3 plum tomatoes, chopped |
nonstick cooking spray |
8 flour tortillas |
1 cup low-fat cheddar cheese, shredded |
1 1/2 cups cooked chicken, shredded |
scallion, cut on the bias (garnish) |
salsa (garnish) |
nonfat sour cream (garnish) |
Directions:
1. In a medium-heavy skillet, saute the onions, garlic and peppers until soft in the 2 tablespoons chicken broth.
2. Add the chili peppers and tomatoes and simmer for a few minutes more until the liquid has evaporated.
3. Add the chicken and stir well to combine.
4. Spray a cold skillet with the nonstick spray and heat over medium heat.
5. Place a tortilla in the pan and sprinkle with 1/8 cup cheese.
6. Add about a quarter of the chicken mixture and top with another 1/8 cup cheese.
7. Cover with another tortilla and cook for two to three minutes or until golden brown.
8. Flip the quesadilla over and cook for an additional two minutes.
9. Remove from the heat and cut into edges.
10. Keep warm while frying the remaining quesadillas.
11. Serve with salsa, scallions, and fat-free sour cream.
