These chicken quesadillas are a meal in one! Loaded with chicken and veggies and very filling (I couldn't finish mine). I made these for dinner with my leftover avocado mango salsa but these are also great for lunch or you can even serve them as appetizers.Chicken Quesadillas

Instructions

  • Lightly spray a skillet on medium heat with oil or if using a grill, grill chicken until cooked on both sides.
  • Remove from heat and cut chicken into strips, set aside.
  • To the skillet, add 1 tbsp oil and cook onions and peppers, season with salt and pepper.
  • Cook about 2 minutes, add garlic and continue cooking until vegetables are soft being careful not to burn the garlic. When cooked, set aside.
  • Heat skillet on medium heat and lightly spray with oil. Add tortilla, top with cheese, chicken, onions, peppers, and pico de gallo or avocado-mango salsa. Top with the other tortilla.
  • Cheese should be melted and the bottom of the tortilla should be golden brown. Put a plate on top of the quesadilla to flip it over onto the plate. Then slide the other side onto the skillet.
