How to Make Healthy Chicken Quesadillas

1. In a medium-heavy skillet, sauté the chopped onion, minced garlic, and bell pepper in 2 tablespoons of chicken broth until softened (about 5-7 minutes).
2. Add the minced jalapeños and chopped tomatoes. Simmer for another 3-5 minutes, or until the liquid has mostly evaporated.
3. Stir in the shredded or diced chicken and cook for 1 minute to heat through.
4. Lightly spray a large skillet with nonstick cooking spray and heat over medium heat.
5. Place one tortilla in the hot skillet. Sprinkle with 1/8 cup of the shredded cheese.
6. Add about 1/4 of the chicken mixture over the cheese.
7. Top with another 1/8 cup of cheese and cover with another tortilla.
8. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
9. Remove from the skillet and cut into wedges.
10. Repeat steps 5-9 with the remaining tortillas and chicken mixture.
11. Serve immediately with your favorite salsa, chopped scallions, and fat-free sour cream.
