Ingredients
  

For the Chicken

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs (or chicken breasts) Lean meat for filling
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher salt Enhances flavor
  • 1 teaspoon Pepper Adds mild heat
  • 1 tablespoon BBQ seasoning blend Seasoning mix for flavor
  • 3 tablespoons BBQ sauce Plus more to drizzle in quesadillas for sweetness and moisture
  • 2 tablespoons hot honey Plus more to drizzle in quesadillas for sweetness with a kick

For the Quesadillas

  • 4 large burrito size flour tortillas Sturdy base for the quesadilla
  • 3 cups shredded cheese of choice Melts to create a creamy filling
  • 1/2 cup chopped cilantro Optional for freshness to cut through richness

Optional Toppings

  • to taste sour cream For added creaminess
  • to taste jalapenos For added heat

Instructions
 

Cooking the Chicken

  • Start by heating a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a small amount of cooking oil, allowing it to coat the surface evenly.
  • Season the chicken thighs (or breasts) generously with kosher salt, pepper, and BBQ seasoning blend.
  • Cook the chicken in the preheated skillet until it reaches a golden-brown color.
  • Add the BBQ sauce and hot honey to the skillet, stirring to coat the chicken evenly.
  • Remove the chicken from the skillet once fully combined and allow it to cool slightly before chopping it into bite-sized pieces.

Assembling the Quesadillas

  • In a clean skillet over medium heat, lay down one flour tortilla. Spread a layer of the chopped chicken mixture across one half of the tortilla.
  • Sprinkle shredded cheese generously on top of the chicken.
  • Carefully fold the tortilla over to create a half-moon shape and press down gently with a spatula.
  • Cook until the first side is golden and the cheese is melted, then flip to cook the other side until browned.
  • Transfer each finished quesadilla to a cutting board and let rest before slicing into wedges.

Serving

  • Cut each quesadilla into wedges and drizzle with additional BBQ sauce and hot honey if desired.
  • Offer optional toppings like sour cream and jalapenos on the side.

Notes

Allow the quesadillas to rest after cooking to help the cheese firm up for easier cutting. Experiment with different cheeses and toppings for added flavor.
