Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tsp garam masala
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
- 8-10 corn tortillas
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
Preparation Steps
- Step 1: Prepare the chicken marinade by whisking together yogurt, garam masala, cumin, and cayenne pepper. Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes.
- Step 2: Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chicken until browned and cooked through. Shred the chicken into thin strips.
- Step 3: In a separate pan, melt 1 tbsp of oil and place a tortilla. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on half of the tortilla, followed by a few strips of the chicken. Fold the tortilla in half to enclose the filling.
- Step 4: Cook for 2-3 minutes or until the tortilla is crispy and the cheese is melted. Flip the quesadilla and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
- Step 5: Repeat with remaining tortillas, oil, and chicken filling. Cut the quesadillas into wedges and garnish with cilantro, salt, and pepper to taste.
- Step 6: Serve immediately with a dollop of raita (a yogurt-based sauce) or a side of chutney for added flavor.
- Step 7: Drizzle with any remaining oil and sprinkle additional cilantro if desired.
