Chicken Quesadillas
These Chicken Quesadillas are perfect for a simple dinner or an easy lunch! They're filled with juicy chicken breast, vegetables, and plenty of melty cheese.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (divided)
- 1 pound chicken breast (cut into small cubes)
- 1 small onion (diced)
- 1 small red bell pepper (diced)
- 1 (1-ounce) packet taco seasoning (or fajita seasoning)
- 2 cups shredded Monterey jack cheese (or any cheese blend)
- 4 large flour tortillas
Instructions
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken in a single layer. Cook for 2 minutes on each side until cooked through. Remove to a plate.
- Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Cook the onions and bell pepper for 2-3 minutes until softened.
- Return the chicken to the pan along with the taco seasoning. Stir to combine and set aside.
- Lay out the tortillas. Brush one side of each tortilla with olive oil, then place them oil-side down. Sprinkle ¼ of the chicken mixture and ½ cup of cheese onto one half of each tortilla. Fold the tortillas in half over the filling.
- Heat a nonstick pan over medium-low heat. Cook each quesadilla for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown, and the cheese is melted.
