Chicken Spinach Quesadillas

This is my new go-to meal for the kids.  It’s easy, healthy and the kids love it.  It wasn’t too long ago that my daughter wouldn’t eat chicken unless it was breaded and deep fried.  So I feel like we are making progress.  I use this recipe when we are rushing off to soccer practice or when we  don’t feel like making a huge meal.  There are also many substitutions you can make to mix it up a bit.  Exchange the chicken for steak or fish.  You can even add more veggies to make a vegetarian style quesadilla.  Have fun with it.

This is how easy this recipe is.  I first spray my griddle or pan with non-stick spray.  Then add the flour tortilla and the cheese.  You will need to have the chicken and spinach already cooked.  I used a cooked roast chicken and frozen spinach for this recipe.  But you could probably use a cooked chicken breast and fresh spinach too.

You will then cover the tortilla with the cheese, chicken and spinach until the cheese melts.  You want it to melt enough to keep it all together.  You will also need to flip the quesadilla at least once so it doesn’t burn on one side.

Cut into quarters and serve.  I usually will serve it with pineapples or orange slices.

The kids will love it!
