Tonight I made yet another pinterest recipe! Grilled Chicken and Pineapple Quesadillas! I was fairly skeptical of this recipe to start off because Pineapple and Barbecue sauce sounded like a really strange combination. The recipe wasn't my favorite that I've ever made... but it tasted good and is worth sharing! It has most of the Vanden Top's Stamp of Approval... my sister wasn't crazy about it and my dad didn't have pineapple on his.
You can find the original recipe here: http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2010/05/grilled-chicken-pineapple-quesadillas/
Here's what you'll need:
1 Whole Pineapple
3 Cups of Shredded Monterey Jack Cheese
Round Tortillas (2 for each Quesadilla)
Sea Salt
Pepper
Barbecue Sauce
Your Choice of Seasoning (I used Mrs. Dash)
Also, ignore the Cilantro in this picture, I ended up not using it.
First, take care of all the prep. Grate the cheese, tenderize and season the chicken and pour some barbecue sauce on it, and chop up that Pineapple.
**You're going to be skewering the pineapple, so make sure you cut it into long rectangular blocks.
Next grill up that chicken! About 5 minutes on each side should get it done and tasting wonderful! Mine ended up looking like this:
If your family is like mine and you like quesadillas, then you'll have a quesadilla maker sitting around the house that worked perfectly for this recipe, but if you don't have a quesadilla maker, you can throw these puppies right on the grill or pop them in the oven. The point is just to get the cheese melted and the tortillas crispy :)
Cut up the chicken into strips and slice the grilled pineapple into small chunks. Cover one tortilla in cheese and top with chicken, pineapple, and barbecue sauce.
Like this:
Cover it with the other tortilla shell and cook it however you're cooking them :) When mine was done it looked so good!
I topped mine with some sour cream, but you could also dip it in barbecue sauce. It ended up to be a really great meal!
Enjoy!
Love,
