Slice the chicken breast into thin strips and season evenly with sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sauté the sliced bell peppers and red onions until they are tender and slightly charred.
Add the seasoned chicken strips to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes until golden brown and fully cooked through.
Remove the chicken and vegetables from the skillet and wipe the pan clean.
Place the whole wheat tortilla in the skillet over medium heat and sprinkle half of the shredded cheddar cheese over one half of the tortilla.
Layer the cooked chicken and vegetable mixture over the cheese, then top with the remaining cheese and fold the tortilla in half.
Toast the quesadilla for 2-3 minutes per side until the tortilla is golden and crispy and the cheese is completely melted.
