Healthy Chicken Quesadillas: A Quick & Easy Lunch

January 26 · Recipes, Savory

Healthy Lunch Ideas

I’m always looking for new healthy lunch ideas that are easy, quick, and tasty. These chicken quesadillas have been one of my go to meals lately and I can’t get enough of them! Brent is way more talented in the kitchen than I am. If you’ve seen our fancy homemade dinner pictures on Instagram, those are always his creations! I, on the other hand, lack the talented cooking gene (along with the patience). I do enjoy baking, but anytime I try to make a fancy meal it is a complete disaster.

Healthy Chicken and Cheese Quesadillas

So, with that being said, you can rest assured that if I say something is easy to make, it is truly easy to make. I like to use organic wheat tortillas, but you could easily substitute these for equally healthy options like these organic coconut wraps or these sprouted grain wraps. We always keep shredded chicken stocked in our fridge because we’re constantly using it for pastas, soups, salads, etc. If you live near a HyVee they sell containers of shredded chicken, which is a lifesaver! We usually buy 2-3 a week. But, we also end up getting a rotisserie chicken and shredding it ourselves when we need to. Either way, it’s so convenient to always have in your fridge!

I keep my quesadillas very basic-chicken, cheese, and spinach. Of course, you can spice yours up with other veggies, sauces, etc. I also don’t measure any of my ingredients, but if you prefer to count calories, fat, etc., they are easy to measure.

INGREDIENTS

  • Shredded Rotisserie Chicken
  • 2 Organic Whole Wheat Tortillas
  • Organic Mexican Blend Shredded Cheese
  • Organic Baby Spinach

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Place the shredded chicken on a plate and microwave it for 30 seconds. (NOTE: This step is optional. I prefer to heat mine up because it’s safer during pregnancy and because in general I like my food really hot. Brent skips this step for himself.)
  2. Place 1 tortilla on a skillet over medium heat. Add the shredded chicken followed by shredded cheese and then top with organic spinach. Place the other tortilla on top.
  3. Cover pan with a lid and let cook for 3-5 minutes. Flip. Continue this process until the quesadilla has started to get brown and crispy in spots.
  4. Cut into 4 slices and enjoy!

Do you love quesadillas as much as I do? I’d love to hear what ingredients you use and any tips you might have! Please feel free to leave them in the comments below 🙂

How to Always have Fresh Cookies on Hand🍪 Bein How to Always have Fresh Cookies on Hand🍪

Being the cookie lover that I am, I make it my goal to always have fresh cookies available - You’ll never know when you’ll want/need one. The end of a long day? To celebrate something at work? For a friend having a rough week? Cookies, cookies, cookies…always the answer🍪🍪🍪

Here are the rules I follow & some storage tips:
1. When making cookie dough, don’t bake all of it at once, unless you know you’re going to eat it all within 48 hours. Instead, bake what you will eat during that time and store the remainder in the fridge. Fresh > 3 days old.
2. Store cookie dough in the fridge for up to 5 days. It doesn’t need to be rolled into balls for this step. 
3. After 5 days, if you have any dough left, roll it into balls, place it inside a ziplock, and freeze. Freeze for up to 3 months.
4. To bake from frozen, I simply follow the recipe’s instructions and add a few minutes if they look like they need it.
🤍TIP: Plan on doubling the dough of your favorite recipes anytime you make them. It’s so much easier to make twice the amount at once and store it rather than making it two separate times.
🤍TIP: Write the date on top of the fridge container with a dry erase marker to track when it needs to be frozen. Write the name of the cookie dough along with the date in permanent marker on the frozen ziplock bag. 
🤍TIP: For recipes that yield runny/very soft dough, form balls/discs of dough on top of parchment paper on a cookie sheet and place the sheet directly into the freezer. Once frozen, remove, transfer into ziplock bags, and place back in freezer (demonstrated in video). 

What am I missing? Do you have any additional cookie dough making/storage tips? If so, leave them in the comments!👇🏻
