Ingredients
- 11 ounces about 2 cups diced Tyson Grilled & Ready Chicken Breast Strips
- 3 tablespoons Wish-Bone Italian Dressing
- 1 cup marinara sauce
- 1 cup 4 ounces shredded Italian-blend cheese
- 4 TortillaLand Flour Tortillas
- Optional garnish: fresh parsley sliced olives, grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F (180C). Spray a 2-quart baking dish (or an 8-inch square dish) with nonstick spray.
- In a large bowl, toss together chicken and Italian dressing. Stir in half of the marinara sauce (about ½ cup) and half of the cheese (about ½ cup).
- Place 2 of the tortillas in the bottom of the prepared dish, tearing them as necessary to cover the bottom (overlapping is fine).
- Top with half of the chicken mixture and drizzle with ¼ cup of remaining marinara sauce. Repeat layers one more time.
- Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Uncover, sprinkle with remaining ½ cup of cheese, and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes (until cheese melted and casserole is hot and bubbly).
- Garnish with optional toppings!
Notes
- Serving a Larger Family? Want to Have Some Leftovers? You can easily double the ingredients and prepare the dinner in a 13 x 9-inch baking dish. Save any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for about 3 days. It reheats nicely in the microwave or in the oven.
- Want to Prep Ahead? This is a freezer-friendly option! Assemble the quesadillas as instructed through Step 4. Cover tightly with foil and freeze for up to 3 months (or keep in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before baking). When ready to use, thaw the casserole in the refrigerator overnight and bake according to instructions above.
