Recipe by Kelly Pfeiffer
Ingredients
  • Caprese Chicken Sausage
  • 2 tortillas, of choice
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup bruschetta (or make a quick combo of 6 diced grape tomatoes, 1 tsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp basil paste, 1/4 tsp white balsamic vinegar, and a pinch of salt & pepper)
  • 2 artichoke hearts, diced
  • 1/4 of a red bell pepper, diced
  • 6 grape tomatoes
  • a handful of italian parsley
  • marinara, for dipping (optional)
  • butter, for cooking
Instructions
  • Build your "quesadilla" in the pan: butter one side of a tortilla and set it butter-side down in the pan.
  • Add on a thin layer of mozzarella cheese (about 1/3).
  • Then top with bruschetta + diced artichoke, cooked chicken sausage (I prefer to cook it in a small pan, but you can also cook in the microwave!), tomatoes, italian parsley, the remaining cheese, and one more tortilla (butter-side up).
  • Cook each side on medium heat for approximately 4-5 minutes until golden brown and cheese is melted.
  • Cut into slices and serve with warm marinara sauce for dipping.
