Asparagus & Chicken Quesadillas W

Features:
    Cuisine:

    This is truly an international take on the classic quesadilla, filled with some of my favorite things! Throwing caution to the wind, its a blend of French, Asian and Carribean ingredients with a nod to the humble yet grand quesadilla. To keep the ingredient list and directions short, I've used store-bought crepes. But crepes are really quick and easy to make - so do yourself a favor and use one of the many great crepe recipes on this site! My personal preference for the cheese is brie (soooo good with the sweet sauce!) but Mozzarella is probably really good,too! This recipe was created for Raiders of the Lost Pantry game, 2013. Time does not include cooking the chicken filet. As an appetizer, these can be made in advance of your party and pan-toasted at the last minute.

    Asparagus & Chicken “Quesadillas” W/ Sweet Rum Dip,This is truly an international take on the classic quesadilla, filled with some of my favorite things! Throwing caution to the wind, its a blend of French, Asian and Carribean ingredients with a nod to the humble yet grand quesadilla. To keep the ingredient list and directions short, I’ve used store-bought crepes. But crepes are really quick and easy to make – so do yourself a favor and use one of the many great crepe recipes on this site! My personal preference for the cheese is brie (soooo good with the sweet sauce!) but Mozzarella is probably really good,too! This recipe was created for Raiders of the Lost Pantry game, 2013. Time does not include cooking the chicken filet. As an appetizer, these can be made in advance of your party and pan-toasted at the last minute.,This recipe makes a lot of dipping sauce easily can be cut in half or even to one quarter. I bought Melissa crepes very delicate and I couldn`t fold in half the half again. Just broke apart. so I rolled them. I did have to use oil to saute the chicken bringing the fat calories higher in the recipe. I also seasoned them with a dry herb mixture. Enjoyed the brie using 6 ounces More fat.These were tasty but presentation was just OK till holding and then sloppy. 3-4 stars would have worked better (5 stars) if tortillas would have been used.
