Pre-Baby = Dani makes fast, easy, nutritious meals.
- Black beans
- Spinach
- Shrimp
- Sweet potatoes
- Turkey
- Mushrooms
- Peppers and Onions
These are just a few ideas but by all means just grab whatever you’ve got hanging around in the pantry or fridge and stuff away!! It’s really just that easy:).
I especially like this meal because it’s healthy and nutritious BUT makes you feel like you are eating something really indulgent and naughty (and we all like to feel a little naughty sometimes)!
But enough of my babbling already… watch the video!!!
Video: Broccoli and Chicken Quesadillas
Ingredients
- 2 ounces of pre-cooked shredded chicken
- ½ cup of steamed broccoli, chopped up
- 1/3 cup of part skim shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 whole grain tortilla (I like Ezekiel)
- 2 tbsp plain, no fat Greek yogurt
- 1 tsp red pepper sauce
Directions
Combine Greek yogurt with hot sauce and set aside.
Heat chicken and broccoli in a large non-stick pan over medium heat. Once heated through remove from the pan and place in a medium bowl.
Toss chicken and broccoli with salt, pepper and garlic powder and then set aside.
Place tortilla in the hot pan and allow to heat through on one side. Flip the tortilla and sprinkle half of the cheese over one half of the tortilla. Top cheese with broccoli and chicken and then sprinkle the rest of the cheese over the top.
Using a spatula fold the tortilla over on to itself (into a half moon) and top with something heavy (ie. A weighted pan or my personal favorite, a teakettle). Allow to cook for a minute or two OR until the bottom lightly browed. Flip the tortilla and cook for another minute or two on the opposite side.
Remove Quesadilla from the pan and allow to cool for a minute or so before cutting into wedges. Top with spicy yogurt and Enjoy!!

Dani,
What a great filling. I was eating quesadillas all summer (with Ezekiel wraps as well) and I think that my all-time favorite is probably hummus, havarti, preserves/relish and any leftover vegetable. I love your combination, though! My partner is from Wisconsin, and can happily eat cheese at any meal, so I think your combination would definitely be a winner!
Thanks for this great idea. I loved the bit at the end too funny and cute!
Dani, this recipe is AMAZING! It’s perfect in the calories, carbs and protein and it tastes absolutely delicious. Thanks so much!
Those quesadillas look really good!
wow. easy fast as you told.
gonna give it a shot
Thanks for the tea kettle idea – I’ve been using it instead of a panini press.
