A quick and indulgent quesadilla filled with tender shredded chicken, creamy ranch dressing, and melted cheese, perfect for any meal.

  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing
  • 4 medium flour tortillas
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/4 cup diced green onions
  • 1/4 cup diced bell pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Combine cooked chicken, shredded cheese, ranch dressing, green onions, bell pepper, and black pepper in a mixing bowl. Mix until well combined.
  2. Heat olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Swirl the oil to coat the bottom of the pan.
  3. Place one tortilla in the pan and spread 1/4 of the chicken mixture on one half of the tortilla. Fold the tortilla over to cover the filling.
  4. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the bottom is golden brown. Carefully flip the quesadilla using a spatula.
  5. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the other side is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
  6. Remove the quesadilla from the pan and let it rest for 2 minutes before slicing into wedges.
  7. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling, then serve hot with extra ranch dressing for dipping.

Notes

Use warm leftover chicken for best flavor absorption; consider adding baby spinach for extra greens.
