Oven-Baked Sheet Pan Chicken Quesadillas


I’m beginning to really love the sheet pan method of cooking. I’m a huge fan of one dish meals, such as the slow cooker, skillet, Instant Pot, casserole or sheet pan.


As a busy mom of four, dinnertime is pretty hectic, so anytime I can get it all in one dish is a win for me.


These Sheet Pan Chicken Quesadillas are a huge hit at our house. I love them because they’re quick and easy to make and my family loves them because they taste so dang good with their buttery, crispy outsides and ooey-gooey middles.


They’re delicious the way they are, but feel free to customize them to your taste, such as using beef or beans in place of the chicken. Also, if you want more sheet pan dinner ideas, then be sure to check out the links below.
