Serves: 4Prep: 15 minsCook: 3 hours
Ingredients
- 2 Chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tbsp Ranch seasoning mix
- 1/4 cup Milk
- 1/2 cup Bacon bits
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tbsp Fresh chives, chopped
- 8 Large tortillas
- 1 tbsp Olive oil or cooking spray
Instructions
- Place chicken breasts in a slow cooker. Add seasonings, broth, and any other slow cooker ingredients you prefer. Cook on low for 3 hours, or until chicken is fully cooked and easily shredded.
- While chicken cooks, prepare the ranch sauce. In a blender, combine Greek yogurt, ranch seasoning mix, and milk. Blend until smooth and creamy like a thick dressing.
- Once the chicken is cooked, shred it using two forks. In a bowl, mix the shredded chicken with the prepared ranch sauce, bacon bits, mozzarella cheese, and chopped chives until well combined.
- Lay out four tortillas. Evenly distribute the chicken mixture over half of each tortilla, leaving a small border. Fold the other half of the tortilla over the filling to create a half-moon.
- Heat olive oil or cooking spray in a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Carefully place the quesadillas in the skillet, cooking for 3-5 minutes per side.
- Cook until the tortillas are golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is melted and gooey. Remove from skillet, let cool slightly, then slice and serve.
