Ingredients
Instructions
-
Season the chickenIn a large bowl, toss the sliced chicken with salt, pepper, and dried oregano until evenly coated. Let it sit for 5 minutes to absorb the flavors.
-
Sauté the vegetablesHeat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced bell peppers and onions, cooking for 5-7 minutes until they begin to soften and caramelize. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant. Transfer the vegetables to a plate and set aside.
-
Cook the chickenIn the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the seasoned chicken slices in a single layer (you may need to do this in batches). Cook for 3-4 minutes per side until the chicken is fully cooked and slightly browned. Return the vegetables to the skillet and toss everything together. Remove from heat.
-
Assemble the quesadillasPlace a tortilla on a clean work surface. Sprinkle about 1/4 cup of the mixed cheeses on one half of the tortilla. Add about 1/2 cup of the chicken and vegetable mixture on top of the cheese, then sprinkle another 1/4 cup of cheese over the chicken. Fold the empty half of the tortilla over the fillings to create a half-moon shape.
-
Cook the quesadillasMelt 1/2 tablespoon of butter in a clean skillet over medium heat. Place the assembled quesadilla in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is completely melted. Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make a total of 8 quesadillas, using more butter as needed.
-
Serve hotCut each quesadilla into triangular pieces and serve immediately while hot and cheese is still melted. Optionally, serve with sour cream, salsa, or guacamole on the side.
