• 1 teaspoon butter, or more if needed

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Season chicken with salt and black pepper.

Step 2

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir chicken in the hot oil until chicken is fully cooked and no longer pink in the center, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside. Pour out any excess grease from the pan.

Step 3

Cook and stir bacon and mushrooms in the same skillet over medium heat until mushrooms are lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low.

Step 4

Slice chicken into bite-size strips.

Step 5

Stir Alfredo sauce and chicken strips into mushroom mixture; simmer for a few minutes.

Step 6

Melt butter in a separate large skillet. Place a tortilla in the melted butter.

Step 7

Scoop about 1/5 chicken alfredo mixture onto 1 half of warm tortilla.

Step 8

Sprinkle about 1/5 mozzarella cheese over chicken alfredo mixture layer; fold tortilla in half. Cook until bottom of tortilla is lightly browned and mozzarella is melted, 3 to 5 minutes.

Step 9

Carefully flip quesadilla with a spatula and lightly brown the other side of tortilla, 3 to 5 minutes. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.

Step 10

Slice quesadillas into thirds to serve.
