A Yummy Find

So, last week I was stalking Meg Farrell's website and I found this really interesting post:


Meg's Buffalo Chicken Ranch Quesadillas.

What's this? Chicken? Ranch? Buffalo sauce? Hmm... this sounds really good!


So good, in fact I just had to try it and you know what? It really was pure yumminess!

Here the link to Meg's blog and below is the recipe:

Meg’s Buffalo Chicken Ranch Quesadillas

Ingredients:

• Bottle of hot sauce (we use Franks)
• Stick of salted butter
• Boneless skinless chicken (breast or tenderloin preferred) *Plan 3-4 oz per quesadilla
• Burrito sized flour tortillas
• Ranch dressing
• Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
• Salt
• Pepper
• Garlic powder

Make the buffalo sauce:

• Melt 1-2 tablespoons of butter in the microwave
• Add hot sauce to taste. Mine was most of a small bottle of hot sauce.
• Stir frequently.

Make the chicken:

• Cut chicken into bite size pieces and place in bowl
• Add salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste
• Melt a large pat of butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat
• Once pan is hot, add chicken. Stir frequently.
• When chicken is about half way done, add a 1-2 tablespoons of buffalo sauce into skillet.
• Turn down to low heat and allow to simmer until fully cooked.

Assemble the quesadilla:

1.       Place 1 burrito size tortilla in a large non-stick skillet over low-med heat *a 5 on my stove was perfect.

2.       On half the tortilla, spread some sharp cheddar, half of what you intend to put in the quesadilla. *I leave a small border to allow for melting and seepage.

3.       Place about 3-4 oz of chicken (however much you want really) on top of the cheese. *Use a slotted spoon to dribble off any melted down buffalo sauce.

4.       Drizzle ranch dressing over the chicken. *I re-used a Cajun injector syringe to drizzle instead of pouring in the ranch. Just a little to taste is what we like.

5.       Drizzle a little of the buffalo sauce over the ranch.

6.       Place a bit more sharp cheddar over all.

7.       Fold the tortilla over the goodies.

8.       Give it a few minutes to brown on this side, and then flip.

9.       Give it a few minutes to brown on the other side.

10. Cut and serve.

11. Place on a plate and allow to cool a bit.

 

Enjoy it!!

Until next time ~
