Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). This ensures that it’s ready to perfectly bake your quesadillas to crispy, golden perfection.

2. Cook Chicken: In a medium nonstick skillet set over medium heat, cook the boneless chicken breast for approximately 5 minutes or until it’s no longer pink and the juices have evaporated, stirring often to ensure even cooking.

3. Add Soup and Salsa: Once the chicken is cooked through, add the chunky salsa and soup to the skillet. Heat the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally to combine the flavors and ensure even distribution of the ingredients.

4. Prepare Tortillas: While the chicken and salsa mixture is simmering, lay out the 8-inch flour tortillas on two baking sheets. These will serve as the deliciously crispy base for your quesadillas.

5. Assemble Quesadillas: Spoon approximately 1/3 cup of the soup mixture onto half of each tortilla, spreading it evenly while leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges. Moisten the edges of the tortillas with water to help seal them.

6. Fold and Press: Carefully fold the tortillas over the filling, pressing the edges together firmly to create a seal. This ensures that the delicious filling stays inside while the quesadillas bake to perfection.

7. Bake: Place the assembled quesadillas in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 5 minutes, or until they are hot and the edges are crispy and golden brown.

8. Prepare Fiesta Rice: In a separate saucepan, heat the chicken broth, water, and additional chunky salsa until it reaches a boil. Stir in the Minute White Rice, cover the saucepan, and remove it from the heat. Allow the rice to stand for 5 minutes, then fluff it with a fork to create light and fluffy grains bursting with flavor.

9. Serve: Once the quesadillas are baked to perfection and the rice is fluffy and fragrant, serve the Campbell’s Chicken Quesadillas alongside the Fiesta Rice for a deliciously satisfying meal that’s bursting with Tex-Mex flavor and sure to delight your taste buds.
