Spicy Chicken Quesadillas

We had this for lunch, boy was it yummy in the tummy! We always grill extra chicken everytime we have it, there are so many uses for it! This is a great one! I used our new panini press......perfect!

Fresh herbs and pickled jalapeños brighten up these simple quesadillas. Serve with a tossed green salad and a side of black beans to round out the meal.
