Grilled Cowboy Quesadillas - CHICKEN

     HAPPY  NEW  YEAR!

     From:   The Davis Family


As this New Year begins and we have the opportunity to reflect on 2020, our hearts are full of gratitude for the things in our life - and the things in our family life that have been centerstage, especially these last 9 months.  Our dinner table is definitely one of them.  


“FOOD  IS  LOVE” is a mantra at our house and the making of great food has often been cited as the missing 6th love language from the standard set of 5!


Going into this New Year - may we all love each other more thoughtfully and more intentionally with all the lessons learned from the last 9 months…


“When we follow Jesus Christ we act as He would act and love as He would love.” 

- Russell M. Nelson


So in showing our love for YOU - 

We are sharing our love of food! 

A new favorite recipe from the year 2020:






Grilled  Cowboy  Quesadillas  -  CHICKEN

BY:  Kent Rollins - The Cowboy Chef


NOTE:  I have to do double this for my family of 6.

IF  YOU  DOUBLE - it is easiest to do this recipe in 

separate bags as a single recipe instead of doubling 

EVERYTHING into one gallon ziplock bag…


TO  BEGIN:


2 - 2 1/2 pounds of chicken tenders 

(OR  3 chicken breasts cut into 1 inch slices)


Put all the chicken pieces into a gallon ziplock.  

POUND  out the chicken with a rolling pin 

(your "husband trainer" as Kent puts is!)

- be careful not to split the chicken pieces.


ADD  TO  YOUR  GALLON  BAG  OF  CHICKEN:

4  cloves of garlic pressed

3  canned chipote adobo peppers - chopped 

juice of  1  lime

6  TABLESPOONS  olive oil

3  TABLESPOONS  honey

1  teaspoon cumin

1  TABLESPOON  K.R. Mesquite seasoning

1  teaspoon coarse black pepper



Let marinade in the fridge for 2-6 hours.


Grill for 3-4 minutes per side until 165 degrees.  


Let rest covered in foil - then cut up the chicken into pieces for a dinner of homemade quesadillas or for taco bowls.





Put all the chicken pieces into a gallon ziplock.  

POUND  out the chicken with a rolling pin 

(your "husband trainer" as Kent puts it!)

- be careful not to split the chicken pieces.
