Ingredients

  • 2 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut in half
  • 1/4 cup Frank's™ RedHot™ Original cayenne pepper sauce
  • 6 teaspoons olive oil
  • 6 flour tortillas (10 inch)
  • 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons shredded mozzarella, Cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
  • 3/4 cup crumbled blue cheese
  • Blue cheese dressing, if desired
  • Celery sticks, if desired

Steps

  • 1
    Fill large saucepan halfway with water; heat to boiling. Add chicken; cook uncovered 15 to 20 minutes until juice of chicken is clear when center of thickest part is cut (at least 165°F). Remove chicken from water to large bowl; shred with 2 forks.
  • 2
    Pour pepper sauce over shredded chicken; toss until completely coated. Set aside.
  • 3
    In 12-inch skillet, heat 1 teaspoon of the oil over medium heat. Place 1 tortilla in skillet; on half of tortilla, sprinkle 3 tablespoons mozzarella cheese, 2 tablespoons blue cheese and 1/2 cup shredded chicken. Fold tortilla in half over filling. Cook 3 to 5 minutes, turning once, until golden brown and cheese is melted. Remove quesadilla to plate; cover to keep warm. Repeat with remaining oil, tortillas, cheese and chicken.
  • 4
    Cut each quesadilla into 4 wedges. Serve with blue cheese dressing and celery sticks.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    To give these Buffalo Chicken Quesadillas some added spice and flavor, sprinkle a few dashes of Old El Paso™ taco sauce or extra red pepper sauce on the tortilla before folding over.
  • tip 2
    For a speedier Buffalo Chicken Quesadillas recipe, shred leftover cooked chicken or purchased rotisserie chicken, or use canned chunk chicken breast in place of the poached chicken.
