I love eating BBQ Chicken Pizza. The other night I was searching the blogosphere for dinner ideas when I came across this idea for Barbecue Chicken and Pineapple Quesadillas and I was so excited to see what minimal and delicious ingredients went on them. We had them for dinner last week and my husband and 16-month-old son LOVED them. Super easy, super fun, and super delicious!

makes 2 quesadillas
- 4 flour or corn tortillas (We used flour.)
- 2 small chicken breasts or 1 large
- pineapple, sliced or diced depending on how big you want the pieces
- mozzarella cheese (The original recipe called for Jack cheese but we wanted it to taste like a pizza a little bit.)
- barbecue sauce
- salt and pepper, for chicken
Directions
- Prepare your chicken. I cut up one large chicken breast and put the pieces in a Ziploc bag with some Sweet Baby Ray’s barbecue sauce. I let that marinate all day. Then I dumped the chicken, marinade and all, in a small saute pan and cooked it on medium. You don’t have to marinate your chicken if you don’t want to, you can just cook it as is. Remember to salt and pepper it for seasoning!
- Take your tortilla shell and spread some of the barbecue sauce on it. Then put some of the chicken all over the sauce, then the pineapple, then sprinkle the cheese.
- Place it on a hot skillet with the other tortilla on top and let it heat through on medium heat. Carefully turn it over after 2-3 minutes and do the same thing on the other side. Remove from heat and let it cool for a minute before slicing into it. Yummy! Enjoy your dinner!
