Equipment

  • 1 small skillet
  • 1 Spatula
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Low-carb tortilla I used Mission Carb Balance
  • 4 oz. Cooked, shredded chicken breast
  • 1 tbsp. Dry ranch seasoning
  • 1 tbsp. Shredded cheddar cheese, reduced fat
  • 2 tbsp. Chopped jalapenos
  • 1 tbsp. Greek yogurt ranch dressing I used Bolthouse Farms

Instructions
 

For the chicken:

  • If you haven't already cooked and
    shredded the chicken breast, start by doing that. You can
    use leftover chicken or cook it fresh. Season it with the dry
    ranch seasoning and mix well to coat the chicken evenly.

For the quesadilla:

  • Place a non-stick skillet over medium
    heat and let it warm up.
  • Lay the low-carb tortilla flat on a clean surface.
    Sprinkle half of the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over
    one half of the tortilla.
  • Spread the seasoned, shredded chicken evenly over the
    same half of the tortilla.
  • Sprinkle the chopped jalapenos on top of the chicken.
    Adjust the amount to your preferred level of spiciness.
  • Drizzle the Greek yogurt ranch dressing over the chicken
    and jalapenos.
  • Sprinkle the remaining half of the shredded cheddar
    cheese over the top of the ingredients.
  • Carefully fold the tortilla in half, covering the side with the
    chicken and toppings.
  • Place the folded quesadilla in the preheated skillet and
    cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until the tortilla
    becomes golden brown and crispy, and the cheese inside
    has melted.
  • Once both sides are cooked to your liking, remove the
    quesadilla from the skillet.
  • Let it cool for a moment, then cut it into halves or quarters
    for easier handling.
  • Serve your high-protein spicy ranch chicken
    quesadilla with extra Greek yogurt ranch dressing for dipping,
    if desired.
