Optional for dipping: salsa, sour cream, guacamole
Boil chicken in chicken broth (canned or bouillon) until meat is falling off bones. Allow to cool in the broth. Remove skin and bones from chicken. Dice chicken (if desired, strain broth and keep for a great base for soup or to cook chicken in next time).
Mix diced chicken with salsa, cheese, green chiles, and olives. Cover half of a tortilla with chicken mixture and fold other half over top. For soft quesadillas, heat in microwave. For crisper ones, bake on cookie sheet a few minutes at 350 degrees. For very crisp ones, fry in hot oil. Cut into 3 wedges and serve with dip, if desired.
2. In medium bowl, combine chicken, sour cream, salsa and cheese.
3. Heat frying pan to medium.
4. Sandwich the mixture between two tortillas at a time. Place enough mixture so there is about an inch between the mixture and the edge of the tortilla.
5. Heat each quesadilla in the pan, and flip when the bottom is lightly browned. Serve with salsa and sour cream to dip. Enjoy!
