🍗 Ingredients:

  • 2 low-carb tortillas (mini or regular size)
  • 1/2 cup shredded cooked chicken
  • 1/4 cup shredded parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tbsp marinara sauce (for dipping)
  • 2 tbsp Greek yogurt garlic aioli or a whipped cottage cheese dip (for dipping)
  • Olive oil or cooking spray (for pan-frying)

🍴 Instructions:

  1. Prepare the quesadilla filling:
    In a small bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken, parmesan, and mozzarella cheese.
  2. Assemble the quesadilla:
    Place one low-carb tortilla on a flat surface. Spread the chicken and cheese mixture evenly over the tortilla, then top with the second tortilla. Press down gently to help it stick.
  3. Cook the quesadilla:
    Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly spray with olive oil or cooking spray. Carefully place the quesadilla in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese has melted.
  4. Slice and serve:
    Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and allow it to cool for a minute before slicing into wedges.
  5. Dipping options:
    Serve your chicken parm quesadilla with marinara sauce for a classic twist or dip into Greek yogurt dip (or whipped cottage cheese) for a creamy, tangy alternative.
