Quesadillas - Greek style!
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts - cut into bite sized pieces
1 package of italien dressing mix
2 Tbsp Olive Oil
2 Tbsp water
1 onion (red or yellow)
1/2 bell pepper
4 tortillas
1/4 - 1/2 cup feta cheese
1 cup shredded cheese (whatever you favor)
Mix the package of italian dressing with the oil and water and chicken pieces. Let marinate
After marinating throw in pan with a little bit of olive oil and cook until done, but not til nicely browned, you don't want it to dry out. - quick pan fry the onions and bell peppers...but just about 3-5 minutes...mix with the chicken.
Butter one side of each tortilla (or not if you want to save cals) and put tortilla on hot pan, butter side down. Sprinkle with cheese and feta...then chicken mix...the more cheese and feta, top with other tortilla...butter side up. Heat should be on Medium - cook for about 5 minutes on each side..until nicely browned, but hopefully not burnt!
Cut into 4th's or 6ths, depending on the size of tortillas, and serve with a salad and side of Tzatziki sauce ( recipe to follow)
I had to work with what ingredients were available, I would have loved to thrown in some chopped cherry tomatoes and some black olives...be creative! Also you could grill the chicken whole and then chop into bite sized pieces or shred for a nice smokey grilled flavor.
Tzatziki Sauce
1/2 cucumber peeled and shredded (you can also scoop out the seeds - whatever floats your boat)
2-3 garlic cloves - pressed
A dash or two of:
onion powder
salt
pepper
Mix all together and chill in fridge for atleast an hour.
