Serves:
Ingredients
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
-
Butterfly the chicken breasts by cutting them horizontally almost through, then open them like a book.
-
In a small bowl, mix together the softened butter, minced garlic, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper.
-
Spread the garlic butter mixture evenly over the inside of each chicken breast.
-
Fold the chicken breasts closed and press the edges to seal.
-
Place the stuffed chicken breasts on a baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes, or until cooked through and juices run clear.
-
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Slice the chicken into thin strips.
-
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Place one tortilla in the skillet and sprinkle 1/4 cup of mozzarella cheese over half of the tortilla.
-
Arrange sliced chicken on top of the cheese, then sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Fold the tortilla in half to cover the filling.
-
Cook each quesadilla for 2-3 minutes on each side, until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
-
Remove from the skillet and cut each quesadilla into wedges.
-
Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley.
