Chicken Quesadillas

I found a recipe for quesadillas made with Pillsbury Grands biscuits on the Food Network website and they looked really good. I took the idea and made my own recipe. These are super easy to make and are a great appetizer for a group of people.

• 1 container (8 oz) sour cream
• 2 green onions, thinly sliced (4 tablespoons)
• 1 cup chunky-style salsa
• 3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
• ¼ lb sliced roasted chicken (from deli), chopped
• ¾ cup shredded Mexican cheese blend or crumbled queso blanco cheese
• 1 can (16.3 oz) Pillsbury Grands Homestyle refrigerated buttermilk biscuits

Heat closed medium-size contact grill for 5 minutes (I used a Panini maker and that worked pretty well); spray grill plates with no-stick cooking spray.


In a medium bowl, mix sour cream, green onions, salsa, cilantro, chicken and cheese. (I used a rotisserie chicken and pulled about ¼ lb of meat off of it.)




Separate dough into 8 biscuits; press or roll each into 5-inch round. Place 1/4 cup chicken mixture on one side of each biscuit round. Fold biscuit over filling; press edges to seal.


Place biscuits, two at a time, on grill; close grill. Cook 2 to 3 minutes or until golden brown. Cut each quesadilla into 3 wedges. Serve with sour cream and salsa.

Make these for your next party and they will be a hit!
