Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked. Remove from skillet and shred the chicken.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil. Add the sliced bell peppers and onion. Sauté for about 5 minutes until they are softened.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Quesadilla

    On one half of each tortilla, layer shredded chicken, sautéed vegetables, and shredded cheese. Fold the tortilla over to create a half-moon shape.

  4. 4

    Cook the Quesadilla

    In a clean skillet, cook each quesadilla over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes on each side until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Cut the quesadillas into wedges and serve with sour cream and salsa on the side.
