Classic buffalo chicken flavors mixed together and grilled between two crunchy tortillas makes the perfect Grilled Buffalo Chicken Quesadillas. 

If you follow Domestic Superhero then you know that I am obsessed with all things buffalo chicken. I mean, how can you not be?! Buffalo sauce is essentially delicious on ANYTHING, so I pretty much can guarantee that if you add it to a dish, the dish will turn out super tasty! Using the classic flavors of a buffalo chicken wing, I paired them together and made these amazingly tasty Grilled Buffalo Chicken Quesadillas.

I have been loving my Traeger grill for things just like this! While Traeger grills are mostly used for smoking (although you can really do ANYTHING on it), I love grilling on it as well. It’s consistent and gets the job done FAST!  Now, I love using a grill to make these buffalo chicken quesadillas, but you can always use a grill pan as well. There’re only a handful of ingredients, but the cheeses, carrots, celery, and sauce really make these Buffalo Chicken Quesadillas POP! 

How to make Buffalo Chicken Quesadillas:

**Scroll down for full directions and ingredients**

• Get all the ingredients together; chicken, cheeses, celery, sauce, carrots, spices, and tortillas (scroll down for amounts).
• Grill the chicken until cooked all the way through. Then add to a bowl with the celery, carrots, sauce, spices, and some of the cheese – then mix it all together.
  • Using 3 chicken breasts allowed me to make 3 massive buffalo chicken quesadillas, so you could probably even spread it to 4 whole quesadillas if you use less filling in each one. 

• Add the filling to a large flour tortilla, and then brush the sides that will be grilled with a little oil. 
• Pop these back on the grill in order to melt the cheese! Flip them over after a few minutes and then serve them!
  • I like to close the grill to make the cheese melt more quickly, but be careful not to burn the quesadillas.
• Top with ranch (Jalapeno ranch for the win)or blue cheese dressing and chives (or more buffalo sauce if you like it HOT) and then devour!

Classic buffalo chicken flavors mixed together and grilled between two crunchy tortillas makes the perfect Grilled Buffalo Chicken Quesadillas.

Course: Main Course

Cuisine: American

Keyword: buffalo chicken quesadilla

Servings: 3 quesadillas

Ingredients

• 3 chicken breasts
• dash salt
• dash pepper
• 1/3 cup buffalo wing sauce
• 1/3 cup bleu cheese crumbles
• 3/4 cup colby jack cheese, shredded
• 2 stalks celery, diced
• 2 carrots, peeled and diced
• 3-4 large flour tortillas
• olive oil

For garnish

• ranch dressing
• parsley, chopped
• 2 green onions, chopped

Instructions

1. Heat the grill on medium/high. Spray grill top with nonstick spray or brush with oil.

2. Sprinkle salt and pepper on the tops and bottoms of your chicken breasts. Place on grill and close. Cook 5-6 minutes per side, or until cooked through (times will vary depending on heat level). Remove. Using a fork and knife, chop chicken into bite sized pieces. 

3. In a large bowl, combine chicken, buffalo sauce, celery, carrots, colby jack cheese, and bleu cheese crumbles.

4. With tortillas open, add mixture to half the tortilla spreading in an even layer. Fold the other half over the top and lightly press down to secure. Repeat for all tortillas. Brush olive oil over one side, and place that side DOWN on the grill. Brush the top side once set on the grill. Repeat for all. Cook 2-3 minutes per side*, or until lightly crisped and cheese is melted. Watch carefully so avoid burning. Remove and set aside.

5. Cut quesadillas in half. Serve topped with parsley, green onions, and ranch. Enjoy!

Recipe Notes

*I prefer to close the grill top to cook the inside of the quesadilla faster, however it will cook quickly so keep a close eye on it to prevent burning. 

Don't like bleu cheese? Leave it off!

Buffalo Chicken Lasagna is full of your favorite ingredients! Buffalo chicken and pasta are paired with four different cheeses make this the best lasagna EVER!

This buffalo chicken lasagna is what weeknight dinner dreams are made of! You get all your favorite buffalo flavors – buffalo sauce, bleu cheese, mozzarella cheese, celery, and green onions…then you toss it between delicious carby noodles…it’s a definitely WIN! Your family will be begging you to make this all the time! It’s not only the perfect dinner, but also the perfect game day recipe! Lagostina is sponsoring this post today, however all opinions are my own. 

When I heard about this new lasagnera from Lagostina (handcrafted in Italy), I knew exactly what I wanted to make – Buffalo Chicken Lasagna. I’ve had this recipe in my head for a long time, but never had a chance to try it. I am so happy I was able to use the lasagnera which features durable 18/10 stainless steel construction with signature mirror polish finish, a cherry wood and stainless steel lid, as well as ergonomic and elegant cast stainless handles. I mean, it’s TOTALLY gorgeous! Really, a food blogger/photographers dream dish!

Putting together the Buffalo Chicken Lasagna does take a bit of effort, but trust me, it’s totally worth it. You need to make the cheese sauce from scratch, but it comes together in just a few minutes. I also baked the chicken, but you could use leftover or rotisserie chicken to save time as well. I also made a not so traditional ricotta filling because I wanted to make sure the meal had the signature creaminess that comes from delicious ricotta cheese. 

It ended up a tad spicy (love the buffalo sauce), super creamy, and really had all the flavors from buffalo chicken wings. Adding the celery was a great touch and then topping the lasagna with more green onions and buffalo sauce gives it another punch of flavor. I would say the spice level here is medium, so if you like it HOT, go ahead and add more buffalo sauce!

I absolutely love the little touches on the Lagostina Lasagnera! Look at the etched writing on the side of the dish – gorgeous! The lid is also so pretty with the cherry wood and stainless steel.
