I like to try different things in regards to recipes. I like to try new things. Chicken is one of the most inexpensive meats next to pork that you can buy, and you can make it in a ton of different ways.
One of the most popular ways to use chicken is to make a chicken quesadilla. It doesn't require a lot of ingredients either.

This is a similar recipe that I found, but I prepared differently.
Chicken flautas feed me here.
Chicken Quesadillas
Ingredients:
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 jar of salsa
1 tbs lime juice
36 (6 in) small flour tortillas
1 package shredded colby jack or Monterrey jack cheese
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp ground cumin
spray vegetable oil or pam
additives:
sour cream
Directions:
1. Cut up the chicken on a cutting board, do not reuse the cutting board. Mix together the chicken, 1/2 the jar of salsa, salt, pepper, cumin, and lime juice.
Let marinate about half an hour. When ready, continue with next step.
2. In a pan, spray with Pam. Cook the chicken until fully cooked until no longer pink over medium-high heat.
3. In a separate pan, spray with the Pam, and put over medium heat. One at a time, put the tortillas in it, and enough just to slightly soften it, on each side. Set aside.
4. After all of the tortillas are done, one at a time, pile the cooked chicken and a little salsa for each one. Top with the cheese. Put in the pan, and heat til it starts to melt the cheese, and slightly crisp the tortilla over medium heat. Top with another tortilla. Being careful, flip the "sandwich" over. Cook until slightly crisp. Do this for all of the sandwiches. This is the hardest part of the recipe I promise.
5. Serve with sour cream, rice and beans (if you wish),additional salsa or hot sauce if you like. Enjoy!
