1 preferably whole wheat tortilla

Pam or olive oil spray



Sprinkle your seasoning on your chicken breast and grill it till its completely done.

our can also cook your onions and peppers also on the George Foreman just slicing them and spraying them with oil spray cooking them after the chicken.Slice your chicken in strips then add your peppers and onions and cheese place in the middle of your tortilla and fold it in 1/2.once you have done this then place the quesadilla on the grill and brown.



Optional serve it with a low fat sour cream and Tomato salsa.

Also you can use Purdue cooked chicken if you want.It saves a step if you don't like cooking raw chicken

Knives

Someone asked me what knives I like.The best way to see what works for you is lay out 3-4 different brands Henckels,Forishner,Cuisinart,etc. and with your eyes closed see what fits your hand the best.Because they may be expensive doesn't mean they are good for you.Whatever feels good is the one.I still have some knives from The Culinary Institute of America when I went to school and they are well seasoned.
