Ingredients
1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 cup jarred salsa (mild or medium)
1 packet taco seasoning
1 cup white queso dip
8 large flour tortillas
2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
2 tablespoons butter (for frying)
Optional: Fresh cilantro and sour cream for serving
Instructions
Step 1: Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of the slow cooker and sprinkle evenly with taco seasoning.
Step 2: Pour the salsa over the chicken, cover, and cook on high for 3-4 hours or low for 6-7 hours.
Step 3: Once cooked, use two forks to shred the chicken directly in the slow cooker, allowing it to mix with the cooking juices.
Step 4: Stir in the white queso dip until the chicken is thoroughly coated and creamy.
Step 5: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of butter.
Step 6: Place a tortilla in the skillet, spread a layer of the chicken mixture on one half, and sprinkle with shredded cheese.
Step 7: Fold the tortilla in half and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Step 8: Repeat with remaining tortillas and serve your crockpot queso chicken quesadillas hot with your favorite toppings.
Notes
You can use leftovers of the chicken filling for nachos or taco salads the next day.
