INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 Whole Wheat Tortilla (approx 45g)
1/4 cup Low-Fat Cheddar Cheese
2 tbsp BBQ Sauce
1/4 cup Red Onion, sliced
1/4 cup Bell Pepper, chopped
Olive Oil Cooking Spray
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F. Lightly coat a baking sheet with olive oil cooking spray.
Season the chicken breast with your choice of spices (salt, pepper, and a pinch of smoked paprika work well) and place it on the baking sheet.
Bake the chicken for 18-20 minutes or until fully cooked and slightly crispy. Once cooked, allow it to rest for a few minutes before dicing into bite-sized pieces.
Meanwhile, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and spray lightly with olive oil. Sauté the red onions and bell peppers for 2-3 minutes until they are slightly softened.
Place the whole wheat tortilla on the skillet. Evenly spread the diced crispy chicken on one half of the tortilla. Drizzle the BBQ sauce on the chicken and sprinkle the sautéed vegetables and low-fat cheddar cheese on top.
Fold the tortilla over to cover the filling. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the tortilla is toasted and the cheese has melted.
Remove the quesadilla from the skillet, slice it into wedges, and serve warm.
