Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 1–2 tablespoons hot sauce
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 pieces fresh jalapeños
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 4 pieces large flour tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 0.25 cup fresh cilantro

Instructions

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Season chicken breasts with smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for 8-10 minutes until golden and cooked through, flipping halfway. Remove and slice.
  2. Mix 3 tablespoons of honey with 1-2 tablespoons of hot sauce in a small bowl. Return the sliced chicken to the skillet over low heat. Pour hot honey mixture over the chicken, tossing to coat.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup of sour cream, 2 finely chopped jalapeños, lime juice, garlic powder, and salt to taste. Mix well and refrigerate.
  4. Lay out tortillas. Sprinkle cheese on one half, add hot honey chicken, and more cheese. Fold tortillas.
  5. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in the skillet. Cook quesadillas for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden and crispy.
  6. Slice quesadillas into wedges and serve warm with spicy jalapeño cream sauce and garnish with cilantro.
