Cheesy Chicken Cilantro Quesadilla Pie

  • Recipe Submitted by on

Category: Healthy Recipes, Chicken, Fruit

 Ingredients List

  • 3 (10-inch) flour tortillas, white or wheat
  • Vegetable or canola oil cooking spray
  • 3 cups cooked, shredded chicken (I used about 1 1/2 pounds chicken and cooked it with this method)
  • 8 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, shredded (about 2 cups)
  • 1/2 cup minced fresh cilantro
  • Salt and pepper
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

 Directions

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F, making sure an oven rack is in the middle position. Grease a 9-inch deep dish pie plate with cooking spray. Overlap and layer the three tortillas (kind of in a cloverleaf pattern), pressing them into the dish, so that the bottom and sides of the pie plate are evenly covered with tortilla. In a medium bowl, toss the shredded chicken with 1 cup of the cheese, cilantro, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Spread the mixture into the pie plate.

In the same bowl that the chicken mixture was in (no need to wash it), whisk together the eggs, milk, flour, baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt until smooth. Slowly pour this liquid mixture into the pie plate covering the chicken evenly. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Bake for 25 minutes, until the surface is golden brown. Let the casserole rest 5-10 minutes before serving.
