Crispy Pan-Seared BBQ Chicken Quesadilla
Enjoy a flavorful twist on a classic quesadilla with tender pan-seared chicken accented by a smoky BBQ glaze, melted cheddar cheese, and crisp red bell pepper, all nestled between warm, whole wheat tortillas. This dish combines a satisfying crunch with a burst of savory BBQ flavor, perfect for any meal of the day.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
2 small Whole Wheat Tortillas
1/4 cup shredded Cheddar Cheese
1/4 cup chopped Red Bell Pepper
1 tbsp BBQ Sauce
1 tsp Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Slice the chicken breast into thin strips and season lightly with salt and pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Add the chicken strips to the pan and sear until golden and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side. Drizzle with BBQ sauce during the last minute to glaze the chicken.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and place one whole wheat tortilla in the pan.
Sprinkle half of the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the tortilla, then layer the pan-seared chicken, chopped red bell pepper, and drizzle a little extra BBQ sauce if desired.
Top with the remaining cheddar cheese and cover with the second tortilla.
Cook the quesadilla for 2-3 minutes on each side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the cheese is melted and both tortillas are crispy and golden.
Remove from the skillet, slice into wedges, and serve warm.
