CHICKEN QUESADILLAS WITH PAPAYA SALSA
1/2 of a small papaya, peeled, seeded, and chopped
1 small nectarine, pitted and chopped
1 hot red or jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely chopped
1 tablespoon snipped cilantro or parsley
1/2 teaspoon finely shredded lime peel (set aside)
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 teaspoon honey
2 medium boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (6 ounces total)
2 green onions, thinly sliced (1/4 cup)
3 tablespoons lime or lemon juice
1 tablespoon snipped cilantro or parsley
1 teaspoon honey
1 tablespoon cooking oil
2 (8-inch) flour tortillas
1/4 cup shredded Monterey Jack or cheddar cheese (1 ounce)
For salsa, in a bowl stir together the papaya, nectarine, hot red or jalapeno pepper, cilantro or parsley, 1 tablespoon lime juice, and 1 teaspoon honey. Cover and chill thoroughly.
Meanwhile, rinse the chicken and pat dry. Cut into 1-inch pieces. Place chicken and green onions in a plastic bag set in a deep mixing bowl.
For marinade, in a bowl stir together the 1/2 teaspoon lime peel, 3 tablespoons lime juice, 1 tablespoon cilantro or parsley, and 1 teaspoon honey. Pour over chicken and onions in the bag. Close bag and turn to coat well. Marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes or in the refrigerator for 2 hours, turning bag occasionally.
WHEN READY TO COOK:
Drain chicken and discard marinade. Remove salsa from the refrigerator; set aside.
In a medium skillet cook chicken in hot oil over medium-high heat for 3 to 4 minutes or until no pink remains, stirring constantly.
On a baking sheet, layer half of each tortilla with one-fourth of salsa and half of chicken and cheese. Fold plain halves over filled halves.
Bake in a 350 degree F oven 8 to 10 minutes or until golden. Top with remaining salsa.
Menu Idea:
