Sweet and Tangy Chicken Quesadillas

Directions

1. Step 1
   Chop the chicken into bite-size pieces and set aside.

2. Step 2
   Preheat a large non-stick skillet over medium hight heat.

3. Step 3
   When skillet is hot, add the sliced onions and sear for 2 minutes to soften and char the edges, flipping once. Set onions aside on a plate and sear the sliced peppers for 2 minutes until slightly charred. Set peppers aside with onions.

4. Step 4
   Add butter to the skillet. Once melted, add chicken pieces. Salt and pepper liberally, then brown for 2 minutes per side. Add the apple butter, cayenne pepper sauce, and vinegar. Stir to combine and let the mixture simmer another 2 minutes. Turn off heat and stir to coat chicken in sauce. Transfer chicken to a holding plate.

5. Step 5
   Wipe out skillet. Lower heat to medium-low and add the first tortilla to the skillet. Sprinkle tortilla with heaping 1/2 cup cheese. Spread 1/4 of the onions, peppers, and chicken over top. Sprinkle with fresh cilantro then another 1/4 cup cheese. Cover with the second tortilla.

6. Step 6
   Wait to flip quesadilla until bottom tortilla is golden brown and cheese has started to melt to hold everything together. Place a flat spatula under the bottom tortilla, and another on top of tortilla; then quickly flip the quesadilla. Brown the bottom tortilla, then move to a warming drawer or warm oven to keep crisp. Repeat with remaining ingredients. 

7. Step 7
   When all quesadillas are cooked, cut into wedges and serve warm with sour cream for dipping.
