ATK Challenge: Chicken Quesadilla Pie


Sorry for the horrible camera-phone picture. My battery was dead on the DSLR and I had to take a pic before it was all gone!

This was an interesting dish. It is like a mexican quiche. I actually got a request for the recipe, so I'll post it at the end.

This was another recipe that uses chicken from a rotisserie chicken. You can pick one up for $5 at Wegman's. A lot of grocery stores are doing the rotisserie thing, including Costco. Sometimes I just get one of these and a half pound of potato salad and we just dig in. It is not very difficult to pull all the meat off these. You don't really even need a knife. Super simple!

A lot of the ingredients were things we already keep on hand on a regular basis. We don't typically buy 10" tortillas, so now I have to figure out what I'm going to do with the rest, since you can't just buy one. Maybe we'll make some actual quesadillas.

I think this would be great to make ahead when we have visitors. Especially if we're going to be running around all day. I usually don't feel like making a big production of dinner after a long day.

RATINGS:

Flavor:     4 out of 5 stars
Easiness:  4 out of 5 stars
Time Spent: 40 minutes (including pulling apart the chicken)
Repeat Dish? yep

Hubby's Comments: "This is pretty good. It has a good flavor combination."
