Steps
-
Place Chicken ingredients in a bowl and mix to coat chicken.
-
Heat oil in skillet over high heat. Add onion and garlic, cook for 1 minute. Then add capsicum and cook for 2 minutes until starting to soften. Transfer into bowl.
-
Return skillet to the stove. Add chicken and cook until browned. Add to same bowl. Set aside until the filling cools (to speed it up, cover and refrigerate, and/or spread out on plate).
-
Preheat oven to 220C / 430F (standard) or 200C/390F (fan / convection).

Spray baking tray lightly with olive oil. Heat in the oven while you assemble the quesadillas.
-
Divide the filling between the tortillas, covering half the surface. Top with cheese. Fold in half and press down gently but firmly.
-
Remove baking tray from oven. Transfer quesadillas onto tray (you should hear a soft sizzle).

Bake for 8 minutes. Then turn the quesadillas (over the folded edge) then press down with the egg flip. Bake for a further 8 minutes or until the surface is crispy.
