Hello everybody, I hope you are having an incredible day today. Today, we’re going to make a special dish, lime chicken quesadillas. One of my favorites. This time, I will make it a bit tasty. This is gonna smell and look delicious.

Lime Chicken Quesadillas is one of the most favored of recent trending meals on earth. It is simple, it is quick, it tastes delicious. It’s enjoyed by millions every day. They are nice and they look wonderful. Lime Chicken Quesadillas is something that I have loved my entire life.

Remove the chicken to a cutting board (discard the broth). Combine the lime juice, cilantro, garlic, jalapeños and salt in a blender. I used to use quesadillas as a vessel for leftover chicken — usually the leftover bits of a whole roasted bird from earlier in the week.

To get started with this particular recipe, we have to first prepare a few ingredients. You can have lime chicken quesadillas using 6 ingredients and 5 steps. Here is how you cook that.

The ingredients needed to make Lime Chicken Quesadillas:
  1. Get boneless, skinless chicken
  2. Make ready key lime juice
  3. Make ready large white flour tortillas
  4. Get butter (optional)
  5. Take mild shredded cheddar cheese
  6. Make ready coarse salt

Meanwhile, on each tortilla half, spread one heaping ½ cup of the chicken mixture. Sprinkle ¼ cup of shredded cheese over chicken. Top with a squeeze of lime juice. Fold the quesadillas and mist each side lightly with oil.

Instructions to make Lime Chicken Quesadillas:
  1. In a suitable storage container(I prefer glass) place chicken and 1/4-3/8 cup key lime juice and approx. 1/2 tbsp. salt. Refrigerate overnight.
  2. Remove chicken from refrigerator. Melt butter in skillet over low heat. Add remaining salt and distribute evenly in pan. Add chicken and discard liquid from storage container.
  3. Increase heat to high and char outside of chicken. Actually burn it a little. Add remaining lime juice a bit at a time. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer until chicken is cooked throughout(Maybe 20 minutes?)
  4. Remove chicken from heat and cool completely. Once cooled pull chicken or cut into 1/4 inch cubes.
  5. Get separate larger skillet and place tortilla in this. Add small amount of chicken(if you add too much your tortilla will fall apart). Add cheese to taste(I like a lot; this melts so that's okay). Heat over low heat until tortilla starts to feel firm. Fold over and continue cooking until both sides have crisped(I like mine slightly burnt) and cheese is melted. Enjoy!

Add chicken, salt and pepper and mix well. Spread the chicken mixture over half the tortillas. Top with cilantro and cheese and remaining tortillas. Preheat stove top grill pan or BBQ to medium. Sprinkle the chicken with salt, pepper and taco seasoning.
