Crockpot Chicken Quesadillas
"Nothing is better than coming home and having your dinner practically waiting for you! This chicken could also be used on nachos, in tacos, or in some sort of Mexican casserole. It is moist and delicious and literally falls apart in the crock pot. I found this recipe posted by a Molly Day on another cooking site. Enjoy!"

would this be frozen or canned corn?

The chicken breast goes into the crock pot frozen? -
Has anyone tried this as enchiladas or even just loose chicken (shredded) with rice and refried beans? With garnishes and tortillas? My hubby really doesnt like quesadillas, he'll eat enchiladas but prefers seperate foods. Recipe sounds great, I'll be trying it for sure.

Made for ZWT-8 because you're right. There is nothing better than coming home & finding dinner waiting for you - esp this one. My appreciation for a good quesadilla is a legacy of my dys in Dallas, so choosing to make your recipe was a no-brainer for me. This quesadilla chicken filling is esp good & its versatility gets high marks from me. I used a chunky med-heat salsa & made the recipe as written, altho I do 1 tiny thing different from most quesadilla preps. I've never been very good at the flip thing, so I start w/a cheese layer 1st, then add the filling (chicken mixture here) & finish w/another layer of cheese. It's twissis-proof because the melting cheese on both sides binds everything together & I can't mess it up. We started w/Recipe #368979 by Debbie R. & ended w/your yummy quesadilla. It was a good pairing. Thx for sharing this recipe w/us. -
Truly yummy - used 3 fresh chicken breasts with bones (for flavor) - 1 jar salsa 1 pkg taco seasoning added 1/2 cup broth for more liquid at end of cooking- served with roasted peppers, onions. a definite crowd pleaser.

I would rate myself as a pretty poor cook. However, not even I could screw this one up! I made exactly as directed and it was fabulous! Also made once with chicken that wasn’t frozen so obviously it didn’t take long at all to cook up. So easy and so delicious. Husband loved. Leftovers also great and cleanup a breeze. Can’t thank you enough for sharing!! -

I love great food and I particularly like trying cuisines new to me! Although I don't prepare as much food as I used to, creating in my kitchen is still one of my favourite things to do. Enjoy!
