How to Make Asparagus Chicken Quesadillas W Sweet Rum Dip
- Cook chicken breast until fully cooked. Dice into small pieces (approximately 1/2 inch cubes).
- Blanch or sauté asparagus spears until tender-crisp. Set aside.
- In a bowl, combine the diced chicken, blanched asparagus, and shredded cheese (brie or mozzarella).
- Spread a thin layer of the chicken and asparagus mixture onto each crepe.
- Fold the crepes in half to form half-moon quesadillas.
- Heat a lightly oiled large skillet or griddle over medium heat.
- Cook the quesadillas for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- While quesadillas cook, prepare the sweet rum dip (see recipe below).
- Serve immediately with the sweet rum dip for a truly unforgettable appetizer experience!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
