Cheesy Chicken Quesadillas with Parmesan Dijon Sauce

Ingredients

For the Quesadillas:

1 large flour tortilla

¼ cup grilled chicken breast, sliced

2-3 slices of deli ham

4 slices Swiss or Provolone cheese

2 tablespoons toasted breadcrumbs

2 tablespoons melted butter

For the Parmesan Dijon Sauce:

2 tablespoons butter

1 tablespoon flour

1 cup milk

1 chicken bouillon cube

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

A dash of hot sauce

½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Prepare the Sauce:

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.

Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until lightly golden.

Gradually add the milk while whisking to combine.

Stir in the chicken bouillon and cook, continuing to whisk, for about 5 minutes until the sauce thickens.

Mix in the Dijon mustard and optional hot sauce. Remove from heat and stir in the Parmesan cheese. Keep the sauce warm over low heat.

Assemble the Quesadillas:

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of melted butter.

Place one tortilla in the skillet.

Layer the tortilla with 2 slices of cheese, followed by the deli ham, and sprinkle with toasted breadcrumbs.

Add another layer of cheese, then top with the sliced chicken.

Drizzle a few spoonfuls of the Parmesan Dijon sauce over the chicken.

Sprinkle with additional breadcrumbs and another layer of cheese.

Place a second tortilla on top and cook until the bottom is golden brown.

Carefully flip the quesadilla and cook the other side until it is also golden brown and the cheese is melted.

Serve:

Cut the quesadilla into slices and serve with the remaining Parmesan Dijon sauce.
