1
Season the Chicken
Rub the blackening seasoning evenly over both sides of the chicken breasts.
2
Cook the Chicken
In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes before dicing.

3
Assemble the Quesadillas
On one half of each flour tortilla, sprinkle a layer of shredded cheddar cheese, followed by a layer of diced blackened chicken, and a spoonful of pico de gallo. Top with another layer of cheddar cheese and fold the tortilla in half.
4
Cook the Quesadillas
In the same skillet used for the chicken (or a clean one), heat it over medium heat. Place the folded quesadilla in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese has melted. Remove from the skillet and repeat with the remaining tortillas.

5
Slice and Serve
Cut each quesadilla into wedges and serve warm with chipotle ranch dressing and sour cream on the side.
