Ingredients:

For the Chicken Quesadillas:

• 8-12 oz of boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 tablespoon olive oil (for cooking)
• 2 bell peppers, diced
• 1/2 onion, diced
• 2 Happy Farms provolone cheese slices
• 2 Mission Carb Balance low-calorie, high-fiber tortillas

For the Pico de Gallo:

• 1 medium tomato, diced
• 1/4 cup onion, finely diced
• 1 tablespoon cilantro, chopped
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• Salt to taste

Here’s how to make it:

1. Season and Cook Chicken: Start by washing and seasoning the chicken thighs with salt, pepper, cayenne pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. Heat a skillet over medium heat and spray with cooking spray. Add the chicken and cook for about 10 minutes per side until golden and cooked through.
2. Prepare the Veggies: While the chicken is cooking, dice the bell pepper and onion. Once the chicken is done, remove it from the skillet and add the peppers and onions to the same skillet. Sauté for 3-5 minutes until softened.
3. Combine Chicken and Veggies: Dice the cooked chicken and add it to the sautéed peppers and onions. Stir to combine.
4. Assemble the Quesadillas: Place a tortilla on a clean surface. Add the chicken-veggie mixture and provolone cheese. Fold the tortilla in half and toast in the skillet until golden and crispy on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.
5. Make Pico de Gallo: While the quesadillas are cooking, prepare the pico de gallo. In a small bowl, combine diced tomato, onion, cilantro, lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Stir to combine.
6. Serve: Cut the quesadillas into wedges and serve with a side of low-fat sour cream and fresh pico de gallo. Enjoy!
