Yield:
2 quesadillas

Ingredients

  • 2 large skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cut into bite-size pieces and pounded thin

  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil, or as needed

  • ½ onion, chopped

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 2 flour tortillas, or more as desired

  • 1 (5 ounce) package crumbled Gorgonzola cheese

  • 1 cup cooked spinach

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.

  2. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add chicken; cook until no longer pink in the center and juices run clear, 3 to 4 minutes. Add onion and garlic; cook and stir until onion is golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes.

  3. Place 1 tortilla on prepared baking sheet; layer with 1/2 of the Gorgonzola cheese, spinach, and chicken mixture; top with remaining Gorgonzola cheese. Place remaining tortilla on top and gently press down to flatten the quesadilla.

  4. Bake quesadilla in preheated oven until cheese is melted, about 10 minutes; cut into triangles.

Cook's Note:

Substitute cooking spray for the olive oil, if desired.
