Description
High-Protein Chicken Ranch Quesadilla is creamy, cheesy, and packed with juicy chicken coated in ranch dressing. The tortilla turns golden and crisp while the inside stays soft, rich, and satisfying.
Ingredients
2 large chicken breasts, cooked and sliced
4 large tortillas
1 1/2 cups shredded cheese
3 tablespoons ranch dressing
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
1. If chicken is not cooked, heat a pan with olive oil and cook chicken breasts with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until fully done, then let rest and slice.
2. In a bowl, toss sliced chicken with ranch dressing until evenly coated.
3. Lay tortillas flat and place a layer of shredded cheese on one half.
4. Add ranch-coated chicken over the cheese, then top with another light layer of cheese.
5. Fold the tortilla in half to form a half-moon shape.
6. Heat a pan over medium heat and cook each quesadilla for a few minutes per side until golden and the cheese is melted.
7. Remove from pan, let rest briefly, then slice and serve.
Notes
Mix ranch with chicken instead of spreading on tortilla to avoid sogginess.
Use medium heat for even melting and crisping.
Let quesadilla rest before slicing to keep filling intact.
