How to Make Healthy Chipotle Chicken Quesadillas
I like to use a grill pan when I make these low calorie chipotle chicken quesadillas. They make pretty grill lines that somehow just seam fancier.
But you can use any skillet or griddle if you prefer. And if you only have one large skillet, you can cook the chicken and veggies, move them to a bowl and wipe out the skillet. Then use it again to cook the quesadillas.


How to Make Low Calorie Chipotle Chicken Quesadillas:
- Heat a large sauté pan over medium heat and spray with olive oil.
- Add in the chicken and cook for 5 minutes, flip and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
- Add in the onions, sprinkle with salt, and cook until soft, about 5 minutes.
- Remove the chicken to a plate and leave to cool a bit.
- Add the garlic, chipotle peppers and sauce, and tomatoes to the pan and lower the heat to low.
- Cook for 5 minutes until 1/2 of the liquid has absorbed.
- Chop the chicken and add it back to the pan, along with the green onions, and cilantro. Toss together to coat the chicken in sauce.
- Remove from the heat and preheat a grill pan (or skillet) over medium heat, and spray with olive oil.
- Lay the 4 tortillas out on a clean surface and add 1/4 of the cheddar to the bottom half of each of the tortillas.
- Top each with 1/4 of the chicken mixture, and then top the chicken with the jack cheese, and fold over the empty top of the tortillas over the filling.
- Add the to the grill pan (in batches as needed) as cook until browned and crispy (about 3 minutes) flip and cook again until browned (about another 3 minutes).
