This High Protein Chicken Ranch Quesadilla is a crispy, creamy, and low-carb meal perfect for a quick and satisfying lunch or dinner.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken Filling

  • 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing
  • 1/2 cup diced bell peppers
  • 1/2 cup chopped green onions
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Quesadilla Assembly

  • 4 low-carb tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare the filling: In a mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken with ranch dressing, diced bell peppers, and chopped green onions. Season with salt and pepper to taste and mix thoroughly.
  2. Heat the skillet: Place a skillet over medium heat and add olive oil, allowing it to warm up evenly.
  3. Assemble the quesadilla: Place one low-carb tortilla in the skillet. On half of the tortilla, spread a layer of the chicken ranch filling, then sprinkle shredded cheese on top. Fold the tortilla over the filling to create a half-moon shape.
  4. Cook until golden: Cook the quesadilla for 3-4 minutes on one side until golden brown and crispy. Then carefully flip it over and cook the other side for another 3-4 minutes until the cheese is fully melted and the tortilla is crispy.
  5. Serve: Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and let it sit for a minute. Slice into wedges and serve warm.

Notes

  • Use low-carb tortillas to keep the recipe keto-friendly and low in carbohydrates.
  • Experiment with different cheese types such as Monterey Jack or pepper jack for added flavor.
  • Add extra veggies like spinach or mushrooms for more nutrients and texture.
  • To make it spicier, add a pinch of chili flakes or chopped jalapeños to the filling.
  • Leftovers can be kept in the fridge and reheated in a skillet or air fryer for a crispy finish.
