No reviews

This High-Protein Chicken Ranch Quesadilla is crispy, creamy, and low-carb. It features tender shredded chicken mixed with Greek yogurt, a Laughing Cow cheese wedge, shredded mozzarella, and ranch seasoning, all inside a golden, low-carb tortilla. Perfect for a quick lunch or light dinner that’s high in protein and full of flavor.

  • Total Time: 10 minutes
  • Yield: 1 quesadilla

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 Low-Carb Tortilla (like Mission Carb Balance)
  • 1/2 cup Shredded Cooked Chicken
  • 1 tablespoon Plain Greek Yogurt
  • 1 Laughing Cow Cheese Wedge (Light or Original)
  • 1/4 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon Ranch Seasoning
  • 1/2 tablespoon Butter (for cooking)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine shredded chicken, Greek yogurt, Laughing Cow cheese, shredded mozzarella, and ranch seasoning until creamy and evenly mixed.
  2. Lay the tortilla flat and spread the chicken mixture over half, leaving a border around the edges. Fold the tortilla over to create a half-moon and press lightly to seal.
  3. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and melt the butter to coat the pan.
  4. Cook the quesadilla 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy, ensuring the inside is hot and the cheese is melted.
  5. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 1 minute before slicing. Serve warm, optionally with Greek yogurt, salsa, or guacamole for dipping.

Notes

  • Filling can be prepared ahead of time and stored in the fridge up to 3 days.
  • Customize with bell peppers, corn, pickled jalapeños, or spinach for added flavor and nutrition.
  • For a Buffalo twist, swap ranch seasoning for Buffalo sauce and use pepper jack cheese.
  • Air fryer option: Spray outside of assembled quesadilla with oil and cook at 370°F (190°C) for 5–6 minutes, flipping halfway.
