Hi Everyone! Happy Tuesday to you!

I've had quesadillas in restaurants a few times and look forward to making them myself at home. Enjoy!

Cheesy Chicken Quesadillas

6 boneless, skinless , frozen chicken breast tenderloins
1-3/4 cup water
1 box spanish rice mix
6 flour tortillas
1/4 cup sliced black olives
1-1/4 cups shredded combination of cheddar-mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup salsa
1/3 cup sour cream

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Hold chicken pieces under lukewarm running water for 1-2 minutes then cut into 1 inch pieces.

In large skillet, combine water, rice and contents of seasoning packet; add chicken. Bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat then simmer for 10 minutes. Spray both sides of tortillas with non-stick cooking spray.

Place 3 tortillas on a large baking sheet. Top each tortilla with 1/3 of cooked rice mixture, olives, and 1/3 cup cheese. Top with remaining tortillas; sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup cheese. Bake 5-7 minutes or until light brown. To serve, cut into wedges. Top with salsa and sour cream. Serves 2-3 people.
