Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into small pieces
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tbsp butter chicken spice mix
- 1 tsp garam masala
- 1 tsp cumin powder
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 8-10 whole wheat tortillas
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- Salt, to taste
Preparation Steps
- Step 1: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Step 2: In a large bowl, whisk together yogurt, butter chicken spice mix, garam masala, and cumin powder.
- Step 3: Add the chopped cilantro to the marinade and mix well. Add the chicken pieces and coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours.
- Step 4: In a large skillet, melt 1 tbsp of butter over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting any excess liquid drip off. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes.
- Step 5: Meanwhile, preheat a griddle or frying pan over medium heat. Brush tortillas with melted butter and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side, until slightly charred.
- Step 6: Spoon shredded mozzarella cheese on one half of each tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges. Top with cooked chicken and fold tortillas in half to enclose.
- Step 7: Transfer quesadillas to the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, until crispy and melted.
- Step 8: Season with salt to taste and serve hot
