If you’ve seen any of my other BBQ Chicken recipes in the past, you probably know that I have a slight obsession with the BBQ Chicken Pizza from California Pizza Kitchen.
(Problem being, that is some expensive pizza!)
I adore the flavor combinations of the BBQed chicken, the cilantro, the red onion, and the gouda cheese. It’s like a quad-match in food heaven. (At least my taste buds think this!)
I’ve taken those flavors and put them into a tortilla, as opposed to on top of a pizza crust and the result…
Grilled BBQ Chicken Quesadillas
Servings - 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 small boneless, skinless chicken breasts diced
- 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
- 8 tortillas
- 1-4 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- Couple cilantro leaves, chopped
- 4 corn cobs side dish
Instructions
- Dice the chicken and coat it with the BBQ sauce. Grill the chicken pieces until cooked through. (Be sure that you dice them into pieces that are large enough to not fall through the grill.)
- Once the chicken is cooked, place onto quesadilla and top with cheese and chopped cilantro. Place another tortilla on top. Repeat until all 4 quesadillas are made. Place back onto the grill over indirect heat and cook for 2-3 minutes, and then carefully flip. (I usually use 2 large spatulas, or even a spatula and small plate, to flip without spilling.) Grill another 2 minutes until cheese is fully melted.
- Remove from grill, slice and serve. Enjoy!
