Chicken Quesadilla
This recipe is something that we whipped up quickly on a Saturday afternoon. It has quickly become a family favorite. It's so easy that with only minor supervision our kids have made it!
We always have cooked chicken hanging around our house. Not sure how to cook a whole chicken? Place a thawed chicken in a crockpot with 1/2 cup of water for 8 hours on low. These chickens will fall off the bone and are easy to shred and debone. This way you have chicken ready in the fridge for a variety of recipes.
