Saucy Peanut Chicken Quesadillas
Last month I made up a spicy chicken kebab recipe that was paired with a spicy peanut sauce. I was left with leftovers and decided to mix it all together and came up with these Saucy Peanut Chicken Quesadillas.
There is nothing better than an expandable recipe! I love it when I can cook up something one night, and create something totally different with the leftovers the next. It makes my weekdays so much easier when it happens. It’s easy to do, but it does take some imagination.
For serious here, if I told you I was making you a chicken quesadilla with peanut butter would you eat it?
Probably not. It’s okay, I get it. BUT if I told you I was making a chicken quesadilla with a spicy peanut sauce, totally right?
So first things first! Dismantle the chicken kebab (or you can make them from scratch and have them ready for the quesadillas, but leftovers are so much easier) and toss it in a bowl with a few tablespoons of the spicy peanut sauce and cheese. Stir it together and lay it on a large tortilla. Grill and you’re done.
It’s that easy!
It’s sweet, it’s savory and it’s spicy!

Saucy Peanut Chicken Quesadillas. Peanut butter and chicken? Trust me on this one. This spicy chicken quesadilla recipe had a sweet and savory peanut sauce with a kick, paired with chicken breast, peppers, cheese, and a tortilla. The peanut sauce is officially on my favorite peanut butter recipes page!

Randa–LOVE this combo. What amazing flavors you have brought together here. I think I have to try this!
Hey Kristen,
Thanks! It’s an unusual combo but a good one, I promise!
How many of each container is this? Looks delicious
Hey Tera,
You would have to look at the tortilla you use to see how many yellows, but use a red worth of chicken, and the sauce would count for a blue (as well as cheese).
