Season chicken with salt and black pepper.

Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
Pour out any excess grease from the pan.
Cook and stir bacon and mushrooms in the same skillet over medium heat until mushrooms are lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low.
Slice chicken into bite-size strips.
Stir Alfredo sauce and chicken strips into mushroom mixture; simmer for a few minutes.
Melt butter in a separate large skillet.

Carefully flip quesadilla with a spatula and lightly brown the other side of tortilla, 3 to 5 minutes. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.
