Cooking Instructions!
Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Make sure the chicken is fully coated in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.
In a bowl, combine the BBQ sauce, lime juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard any excess marinade.
Grill the chicken for 6-8 minutes per side, or until cooked through and juices run clear. Remove from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Slice the chicken into thin strips.Heat a large skillet over medium heat.
Chicken breasts should be cut into bite-sized pieces.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Place one flour tortilla in the skillet and sprinkle with about (25g) of cheddar cheese. Top with a few slices of grilled chicken, red onion, and chopped cilantro. Sprinkle with another (25g) of cheddar cheese. Place another tortilla on top.
Cook the quesadilla for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the cheese is melted and the tortillas are golden brown. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling ingredients.
Slice each quesadilla into quarters and serve hot. Enjoy the delicious BBQ Chicken Quesadillas!
