Chicken Quesadilla

  • 2 tsp Extra-virgin olive oil

  • 8 oz Chicken breast boneless skinless sliced into thin strips
  • ½ tsp Paprika

Lemon Sparkling Water

Instructions

  • Prepare all ingredients as listed.
  • Heat extra-virgin olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the onion and green bell pepper and sauté until softened.
  • Add the chicken, paprika, garlic powder, and ground cumin. Season with salt and black pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
