Cooking for Kam: Chicken Broccoli Quesadillas

Chicken Broccoli Quesadilla
Kamran has established that he is going to exercise his option of being a picky toddler. He is a pretty inconsistent eater but has made one thing clear. He does not like chicken unless it is mixed with something. He will eat my homemade chicken nuggets, no problem but plain cubes of chicken are for throwing on the floor. That left me with the question of what to do with all of the left over cubed chicken I froze but know Kamran won’t eat. He seemed to like my solution. Quesadillas.
Here is what you need. I only made 1 serving.
1 tortilla
1.5 oz cooked chicken (shredded, cubed, however you prefer)
1.5 oz broccoli–I used frozen organic broccoli and just diced from frozen.
Shredded cheese, as much or little as you like
Heat your tortilla on a pan, flipping until it begins to puff a bit. Add broccoli, chicken and cheese on top to one 1/2 of the open tortilla. Fold the tortilla in half, allow cheese to melt and flip to cook the other side. Cut into finger sized strips and serve.
Kamran has decided that he is now a big boy and wants whole pieces to bite off. You could also cut these down to bite sized pieces if your child prefers.

Great idea! Have you tried any other veggies to mix in? It can be quite a versatile dish with different veggies so it won’t be the same thing every time.

We will be eating these with lots of veggies in our house. My son likes black beans so I’ll take those for a spin too!
