Ingredients
- 1 lb cooked chicken, shredded
- ½ cup buffalo sauce
- ¼ cup ranch dressing
- 1 cup Alfredo sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ¼ cup chopped green onions
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 2 tbsp butter
Ingredient Notes & Swaps
- Chicken: Rotisserie, grilled, or leftover chicken all work well.
- Buffalo Sauce: Use mild, medium, or hot to suit your heat preference.
- Cheese: Mozzarella is melty and neutral—pepper jack adds extra kick.
- Alfredo Sauce: Jarred is fine, but homemade adds a rich, garlicky touch.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Make the Filling
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken with buffalo sauce, ranch dressing, and Alfredo sauce. Stir until the chicken is fully coated. - Heat the Skillet
Warm a large skillet over medium heat and melt ½ tablespoon of butter. - Assemble the Quesadillas
Place one tortilla in the skillet. Spread ¼ of the chicken mixture over half of the tortilla. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese and chopped green onions. Fold in half and press gently. - Crisp and Flip
Cook for 2–3 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is fully melted. - Repeat and Serve
Remove the quesadilla from the pan, and repeat with remaining tortillas and filling. Slice into wedges and serve hot.
Tips for Success
- Press gently with a spatula while cooking to seal and crisp the tortilla.
- Don’t overstuff: A thin, even layer of filling keeps it crispy and easy to flip.
- Keep warm in the oven: Store cooked quesadillas on a baking sheet at 200°F while you make the rest.
