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.
