We love quesadillas. They are super simple to make and can be stuffed with a variety of cheeses, meats and veggies.

For these Italian Chicken Quesadillas, I used an Italian cheese blend (with Mozzarella, Provolone, Parmesan and Fontina, plus Romano and aged Asiago), Chicken breasts, onion, red bell pepper, parsley and balsamic vinegar and stuffed it all inside big flour tortillas.

For the Greek yogurt dip, I combined the yogurt with dried Italian dressing mix and some fresh parsley. Easy peasy, super simple weeknight dinner!

How to Make Italian Chicken Quesadillas

See the recipe card below for full, detailed instructions

First you’ll season the chicken and cook in a large skillet. Then remove the chicken to a plate and saute some onions and red bell pepper. Finely chop the chicken into small pieces, or if you cook the breasts whole, you can shred them. Stir the chicken into the onion and bell pepper mixture, add some chopped parsley and balsamic vinegar.

To make the quesadillas, butter a skillet and butter two tortillas. Place one tortilla butter side down in the hot skillet then layer some Italian cheese, the chicken mixture, more cheese and balsamic vinegar.

Top with the second tortilla, butter side up, and flip.

To make the Greek Yogurt dip, stir in some Italian dressing mix and chopped parsley.
