Ingredients
  

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon chili powder

1 teaspoon cumin

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 red bell pepper, sliced

1 green bell pepper, sliced

1 medium onion, sliced

4 large flour tortillas

2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Sour cream and salsa (for serving)

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken: In a mixing bowl, combine the sliced chicken with chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Drizzle with olive oil and give it a good toss until well-coated. Let it marinate for about 15 minutes.

    Cook the Vegetables: In a large skillet over medium heat, add a tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the sliced onions and bell peppers until they are softened and slightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the vegetables from the skillet and set aside.

      Cook the Chicken: In the same skillet, add the marinated chicken. Cook for about 6-8 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink. Add the sautéed vegetables back to the skillet, mixing them with the chicken for 2 minutes. Remove from heat.

        Assemble the Quesadillas: Place a tortilla in the skillet over medium heat. On one half of the tortilla, layer a generous amount of the chicken and veggie mixture, followed by a good handful of shredded cheddar cheese. Fold the other half of the tortilla over the filling.

          Grill the Quesadilla: Cook the quesadilla for about 3-4 minutes on one side until it is golden and crispy, then flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side. Repeat for the remaining tortillas.

            Slice and Serve: Once golden and crispy, remove the quesadillas from the skillet and let them cool slightly. Cut each quesadilla into wedges. Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve with sour cream and salsa on the side.
