These chicken quesadillas are crispy on the outside and loaded with juicy seasoned chicken, melted cheese, and sautéed bell peppers. Perfect for a quick and satisfying family dinner.

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb)
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 2 cups shredded cheese (blend of cheddar and mozzarella)
  • 1 cup colorful bell peppers, sliced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • ½ cup sour cream (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Preheat a large skillet over medium heat and add olive oil.
  2. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Cook in the skillet for 6–8 minutes per side until golden brown and fully cooked. Remove from skillet and let rest for 5 minutes.
  3. In the same skillet, sauté sliced bell peppers and minced garlic for about 5 minutes until tender and fragrant.
  4. Shred the cooked chicken using two forks.
  5. Lay one tortilla in the skillet. Sprinkle half of it with cheese, add shredded chicken and sautéed peppers, then fold the tortilla over. Cook for 3–4 minutes per side until crispy and golden brown. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.
  6. Slice into wedges and serve warm with a dollop of sour cream.

Notes

  • You can substitute rotisserie chicken to save time.
  • Add sliced onions or jalapeños for extra flavor and heat.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat in a skillet or oven to maintain crispiness.
