Description
This BBQ Chicken Quesadilla is a deliciously light yet satisfying dish made with shredded chicken, tangy BBQ sauce, melted cheese, and a crispy whole wheat tortilla. Perfect for lunch, dinner, or a quick snack!
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup cooked shredded chicken breast
- 1 1/2 tablespoons barbecue sauce (such as Stubb’s original)
- 1 whole wheat tortilla (8 inches)
- 1/3 cup shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped scallions
- Olive oil spray
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine the shredded chicken and barbecue sauce until well coated.
- Spray a nonstick skillet with olive oil spray and heat over medium heat.
- Place the tortilla in the skillet and sprinkle half of the cheese evenly over one half of the tortilla.
- Add the BBQ chicken mixture on top of the cheese, then sprinkle with scallions and the remaining cheese.
- Fold the tortilla over to form a half-moon shape.
- Cook for 2–3 minutes per side or until the tortilla is golden and crispy and the cheese has melted.
- Remove from skillet, let cool for 1 minute, then cut into wedges and serve.
Notes
- You can use leftover rotisserie chicken for convenience.
- Adjust the BBQ sauce to your taste preference—spicier or sweeter varieties both work well.
