Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups cooked, shredded chicken breast
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese, divided
  • 0.5 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon dry ranch seasoning
  • 2 green onions, finely sliced
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil or butter

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a medium-sized bowl, combine the shredded chicken, Greek yogurt, dry ranch seasoning, three-quarters of the shredded cheddar cheese, and the sliced green onions. Mix until everything is well combined.

  2. 2

    Lay a tortilla flat. Spoon half of the chicken mixture onto one half of the tortilla, spreading it evenly while leaving a small border. Sprinkle half of the remaining cheese over the filling.

  3. 3

    Fold the empty half of the tortilla over the filling to create a half-moon shape. Gently press down. Repeat with the second tortilla and remaining filling.

  4. 4

    Place a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil or butter. Once the pan is hot, carefully place one quesadilla in the skillet.

  5. 5

    Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until the tortilla is deep golden brown and crisp, and the cheese is fully melted.

  6. 6

    Remove the quesadilla from the pan and let it rest on a cutting board for one minute before slicing into wedges. Repeat for the second quesadilla. Serve immediately.
