Chicken Puff
September 27, 2014What do you call a puffy quesadilla? A Puffy-dilla or a Chicken Puff
Chicken Puff
Uncooked flour tortillas
2 Boneless skinless chicken breasts boiled and shredded
1 Small tomato chopped
1 Serrano pepper chopped
3-4 Green onions chopped
1/2 Can of Extra large black olives sliced
Salt & Pepper
Shredded cheddar cheese
Oil for frying
First off, I discovered an easy way to shred hot chicken without playing hot potato with it. Is there nothing my KitchenAid can't do?!
Just put your chicken straight from the pot into your KitchenAid turn it on speed 2 and let it do it's magic. You will have perfectly shredded kitchen in about 30 seconds. Make sure you use the paddle attachment. (I don't think that's the correct name for it.)
Into the shredded chicken add the tomatoes, olives, peppers, and green onions and mix.
Season filling with salt & pepper. Take your raw flour tortillas ( I use the kind you buy at Costco) and slice in half. Fill the middle of one side with the chicken filling and some cheese. Fold over and wet the edges to stick together. Use a fork to also crimp the edges to keep the filling inside.
2 chicken breasts will make a ton of filling. You can make a bunch of these and freeze them or you can make just enough and use the leftover filling for enchiladas, tacos, or add some mayo to it and you will have a zesty chicken salad sandwich.
Now this is where a normal quesadilla becomes a puff. Apparently when you fry up a raw flour tortilla it will puff and be similar to fry bread, who knew?
Fill a frying pan with oil so that when you place one of these little filled goodies into it the oil covers them about halfway. Make sure your oil is hot but not to hot these will cook up really quick. Flip over once one side is brown, crispy, and puffy and cook the other side. Serve with sour cream.
