This recipe is incredibly simple! Just throw all your ingredients in the crockpot and let the chicken cook all day. When you come home, all that you will need to do is shred the chicken and make each quesadilla. It’s so fast and the entire family enjoys this recipe.

What goes well with chicken quesadillas?
This is yummy served with Spanish Rice. Did you know you can also freeze rice? I love making a double batch and putting some in the freezer. It’s so nice to be able to just take this out of the freezer. I also freeze onions to use in recipes. I’m all about making life easier. 🙂
Now this is totally optional but my kids love when I make The Best Mexican White Cheese Dip Recipe. They like to eat this with some tortilla chips. Some of the kids even like to pour a little on their chicken quesadilla. Yum!
How do you cook chicken to be shredded?
My favorite way is to cook chicken in the crockpot. It takes so little work and it’s very easy to shred once the chicken is finished cooking.
If you don’t have a crock pot yet, here are some nice ones on sale. I love the programmable crock pot for when you are not at home. It’s great so that you can have it cook for the perfect amount of time. I love coming home to dinner waiting!
Money Saving tip for Chicken quesadilla recipe:
Add beans into this recipe to stretch the chicken mixture. It will feel you up and make this recipe go further. You can also put rice in the mixture to really stretch the meal. Spanish rice is really delicious. I usually keep rice in the freezer. This is very handy if extra guests show up or you have some of the kid’s friends over you didn’t expect. Just grab that rice out of the freezer and add to the chicken mixture and you will have enough to feed everyone! Another money saving tip is to use chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts. Or you can use a little of both.
Ingredients for Slow Cooker Chicken Quesadilla Recipe:
2 boneless, skinless chicken Breasts frozen (You can also use chicken thighs or mix thighs in with the chicken breasts)

3. Heat up a large skillet or a griddle to medium high heat. Place down one flour tortilla. Top with the cheese and the chicken mixture.
4. Place another flour tortilla on top. Cook for about 2 minutes per side until they are golden brown. Continue doing this.
