Ingredients

• 1 piece (about 6 ounces) Boneless, skinless chicken breast
• 3 tablespoons Fat-free Greek yogurt
• 1 tablespoon Light mayonnaise
• 0.5 cup Low-fat shredded Mexican cheese blend
• 2 pieces (8-inch diameter) Whole wheat tortillas
• 0.5 teaspoon Chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 0.25 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Hot sauce (optional)
• 1 spray or as needed Nonstick cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the chicken. Season the chicken breast with a mixture of chili powder, garlic powder, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper on both sides.

Step 2

Heat a skillet over medium heat and spray it with nonstick cooking spray. Cook the chicken breast for 4-5 minutes per side or until fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F). Remove from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips.

Step 3

While the chicken rests, prepare the quesadilla sauce. In a small bowl, mix fat-free Greek yogurt, light mayonnaise, and hot sauce (if using). Stir until smooth. Adjust the seasoning with a pinch of salt or additional spices, if desired.

Step 4

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and spray it lightly with nonstick cooking spray. Place one whole wheat tortilla in the skillet.

Step 5

Sprinkle 1/4 cup of the low-fat shredded Mexican cheese blend evenly over the tortilla. Arrange half of the cooked chicken strips over the cheese and spread half of the quesadilla sauce on top.

Step 6

Place the second tortilla over the chicken and sauce. Gently press down with a spatula to seal the quesadilla. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side, then carefully flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the tortillas are golden brown.

Step 7

Remove from the skillet and repeat the process with the remaining ingredients for the second quesadilla.

Step 8

Let the quesadillas rest for 1 minute before slicing into triangles. Serve warm with salsa or additional Greek yogurt for dipping, if desired.
