Cheesy Chicken and Broccoli Quesadilla

Cheesy Chicken and Broccoli QuesadillaOlive Oil
Goya Adobo All Purpose Seasoning
Garlic Salt
Parsley
Black Pepper
Chicken Breast
Steamed Broccoli
Saffron Yellow Rice (I use Mahatma- best rice ever!)
Butter
Flour Burrito Size Tortillas
Shredded (Mexican style) Cheese


Just a little something I threw together one night from some leftover steamed broccoli we had with dinner the night before and some quick cooking rice and easy skillet chicken... You would think being a teacher that summers would be a little more relaxing; not so!  We have soccer, taekwondo, ice skating classes, summer school, trainings for school, etc. to work around, so I am still having to throw things together at the last minute and since I am a little lazier because I feel like I should be relaxing a bit, I sometimes skip my weekly Sunday shopping trip and just go with what we have:  What resulted from these on hand ingredients was a super tasty, picky eater approved, slightly non-Mex version of a quesadilla!





*Cook yellow rice by following directions on package while you are cooking the chicken breasts.

Drizzle hot pan with olive oil and throw in chicken breast.  Season breast with Adobo, garlic salt, black pepper, and parsley.  Flip chicken breast and season other side.  When mostly cooked, remove from pan and slice into small pieces, continuing to cook fully.


When chicken is cooked, add precooked rice and steamed broccoli to the pan.  Like I said, I used leftover broc from the night before.  Heat thoroughly.

Set mixture aside in a bowl and butter one side of a flour tortilla.  Put butter side down in pan and add cover half of burrito with shredded cheese.  Add chicken/rice/broc mixture to half of burrito on top of cheese.

Add more cheese on top of mixture for those cheese loooovers...

Fold burrito over and cook each side until lightly browned and cheese is melted!
*I FINALLY figured out how to flip a burrito without all of the stuff falling out!  Slide spatula under the open side of the quesadilla and stand up to balance on the fold then gently lay quesadilla down on the other side- You will have to use your hand or another utensil to help you flip!

Serve hot and enjoy!
