Chicken and Bacon Pizza Quesadilla Recipe (2024)

I swear my house feels like Grand Central Station with all the coming and going! My oldest daughter just started her first job a couple weeks ago and works a few days a week. My youngest is in hockey and piano lessons several nights a week. I joke sometimes thatwe have arevolving door! Quality family time can be challenging. It seems the only time we do spend time together lately is over a meal at the dinner table. After dinner is over, it’s once again chaotic.

I think time flies by the older you get. My kids are growing up right before my eyes. It’s hard to believe that Olivia will be leaving home in less than two years. I want to make sure we get as much quality family time as possible before she leaves the nest.

I enjoy cooking and preparing meals for my family. I try to accommodate everyone’s likes and dislikes (and there are many) so that everyone is happy. Both my daughters are picky eaters. One thing we can all agree on is chicken. I know when I make a chicken dish chances are that there will empty plates at the end. It always makes me feel good to see them clean their plates!

Their recipe has ground chicken, but I decided to change it up and use some seasoned chicken breasts. I added bacon and peppers. John suggested mushrooms, but the kids will end up picking them off so I didn’t include them. The beauty of this recipe is that anything goes. Add whatever toppings you enjoy!

I used regular white tortillas, but next time I might try whole wheat tortillas.

Use a little pizza sauce or spaghetti sauce – whatever is in your pantry.

Pile on your toppings and a little Italian seasoning. It’s ready to go in the oven!

I left it in about 5 minutes until the cheese was melted and the tortilla started to crisp up a little. So easy!

I like that it’s not as carb heavy as a regular pizza would be. Add a side salad to make it into a nice dinner for your family.

They are so fast to whip up if anyone is really hungry and wants seconds or thirds.

This recipe was a hit with the girls and John. I’ll be making it again very soon!

What is your family’s favourite meal with chicken?
