Chicken-Cheese-Spinach Quesadillas

While perusing pinterest, I found a bunch of different chicken/cheese/spinach quesadillas, but none of them were really what I wanted from my quesadilla. So I did a mash up and got some pretty awesome results.

You will need:

4 tortillas
4 oz. chicken breast
3/4 cup mozzarella cheese
1 tbsp feta
1/2 cup fresh spinach
1/4 yellow pepper
1/4 cup of onion

I used my foreman grill for this :) I put 4 oz. (1 chicken breast or 2 chicken tenders) on the foreman grill until cooked through (I cook it for 8 minutes, cut it in half and cook it for 2 more). While that is going, dice up the onion and pepper and put it on a frying pan until soft (6-8 minutes), season with cayenne if you want a little kick. Also, heat some water in a separate pot and cook the spinach. These should all be done around the same time.

Remove the chicken, onion/pepper mix, and spinach from heat. Put the onion/pepper mix in a bowl, drain the spinach, and shred the chicken. Mix it all together once cooled. Then, add the cheeses. Lay our the tortillas and fill half of them with the mix and fold. Place on the grill for 4 minutes, check to see the progress, then flip if necessary and cook for 2 more minutes.

This will make 4 quesadillas, but I could only eat 2 myself, so I stored the ingredients in the fridge for another day. This works great for dinner and only takes about 20 minutes to prep and cook. It's well under the daily allowances for calories, fats, and sodium, so I feel pretty good about this as a dinner (or 1 quesadilla for lunch).

I originally used 1 cup of moz for this, but it was super cheesy and I wanted to cut out some calories, so I took it down to 3/4 of a cup. Super tasty, right amount of cheesy.
