Zucchini & Chicken Goat Cheese Quesadillas

Ingredients

  • 2 zucchinis
  • Olive oil
  • Red pepper flakes
  • Sea salt pepper
  • 1 yellow onion
  • Balsamic glaze
  • A big handful of grated mozzarella
  • A few dollops of goat cheese
  • Boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 2 tortillas
  • Butter

Instructions 

  • Add olive oil to a large skillet and thinly slice the zucchini (ideally a with a mandolin). Season with salt, pepper and red pepper flakes. Cook until zucchini has reduced inside and nicely browned, about 10 min. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  • Thinly slice yellow onion (also ideally with a mandolin) and add to same pan with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 25 min, stirring often. I like to add a little drizzle of balsamic glaze at the end.
  • Preheat grill to 375 and coat chicken thighs with olive oil, salt and pepper. Grill for about 4-5 min per side. Remove and chop into cubes.
  • Add grated cheese, zucchini, onions, chicken and goat cheese to a large tortilla. Drizzle with balsamic glaze and top with second tortilla. Add to a skillet with a little butter. If you have a press, use it here and cook for about 4-5 min on medium heat or until cheese is melty and the tortilla is browned. Then flip and repeat on other side. Remove and cut into slices. Enjoy!
