Introduction

Step 1
Heat a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and butter.
Step 2
Season the chicken pieces with salt, pepper, and the spice blend (chili powder, garlic, onion, paprika, and oregano) until fully coated.
Step 3
Add the seasoned chicken to the hot skillet and cook on medium heat for 7-8 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked through. Set aside on a plate.
Step 4
Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly brush vegetable oil on one side of a tortilla.
Step 5
Place the tortilla oiled-side down. Sprinkle cheese, cooked chicken, and another layer of cheese on one half of the tortilla, then fold it over.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
Cutting the chicken into small pieces before cooking ensures every piece is evenly seasoned and coated in spices.
Cooking the chicken in a mix of butter and olive oil gives it a rich flavor that elevates the final quesadilla.
Placing cheese both under and on top of the chicken acts as a glue to keep the folded quesadilla held tightly together.
