BBQ Chicken Quesadillas

After testing slow cooker BBQ chicken dozens of ways, I’ve found the perfect balance of tender chicken and melty cheese for these quesadillas. Crispy tortillas, gooey cheese, and flavorful BBQ chicken come together in minutes for a family-approved dinner that consistently gets rave reviews.

Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 2 chicken breasts
  • 1 cup ketchup
  • ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp dry mustard
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp pepper
  • shredded cheese
  • BBQ sauce
  • 1 package large flour tortillas

Instructions
 

  • Place chicken breasts in the bottom of a slow cooker.
  • Mix sauce ingredients together and pour over top of chicken
  • Cover and cook on low for 4-6 hours.
