Mexican Chicken and Cheese Quesadilla -- Crock Pot to Griddle Recipe

These chicken quesadillas on the griddle are a copycat of my daughters’ favorite Mexican chicken quesadillas from a local restaurant. The stewed Mexican chicken in these quesadillas is absolutely fantastic - and much different than what you get at most Mexican restaurants, so I tried to replicate that in the Crock Pot. Combine the awesome shredded Mexican chicken with the perfect quesadilla cheese and some delicious homemade flour tortillas, and you’ve got one of the best chicken quesadillas that we’ve ever made on the griddle! For the Crock Pot Mexican Chicken: INGREDIENTS- 3 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts 1/4 cup carrot, small diced 1/3 cup bell pepper, small diced 3/4 cup onion, small diced 2 dried guajillo chiles, seeds removed 1 dried ancho chile, seeds removed 2 cloves garlic, minced 2 chipotles in adobo (from can) 1/2 cup salsa 2/3 cup red enchilada sauce INSTRUCTIONS- Rehydrate dried peppers in hot water for about 15 minutes, or until softened. Add rehydrated peppers, garlic, chipotles in adobo, and enchilada sauce to the cup of a blender, and blend until smooth. Put the chicken breasts in the Crock Pot. Pour the blended pepper mixture over top of the chicken. Add the diced bell peppers, onions, carrots, and salsa to the Crock Pot. Cook on high 3-4 hours, until chicken is cooked through. When chicken is cooked, remove chicken from crock pot and set aside. Add the remaining sauce from the Crock Pot to a large skillet. Reduce over medium heat until sauce has thickened. While sauce is reducing, shred chicken. Add the shredded chicken to the reduced sauce. ‪@BlackstoneGriddles‬ #griddlecooking #quesadillas #crockpotcooking #mexicanfood Join this channel to get access to perks:    / @theflattopking   Please email [email protected] for business inquiries.
