Chicken Quesadillas

Use this traditional way of making chicken noodle soup to create the best quesadilla filling you've ever had.

Ingredients

  • 1 large whole chicken, thawed
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 1 medium white onion
  • 1 whole carrot
  • 2 stalks celery
  • 8 tortillas, flour or corn
  • 2 c. fancy shredded cheese

Directions

  1. Place chicken in a large stock pot and fill with water to mostly cover the chicken. Bring to a boil and add garlic, onion, carrot, and celery. Turn heat down to medium and simmer for about 2 hours or until chicken leg can easily be moved at the thigh joint. Remove celery and carrot from the broth and continue to reduce until 1/2 c. of broth remains. Shred chicken and return to broth.
  2. Heat a large skillet to medium high. Place 1/4 c. of filling and a handful of cheese onto a tortilla and place another tortilla on top. Place a heavy object on top to press the tortillas down while they cook. Turn after a few minutes when tortilla gets browned and crispy.
