Ingredients
  

For the Chicken

  • 1 large chicken breast (about 1 lb)
  • 1 tablespoon unrefined coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon fresh squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon yellow mustard (option to use Dijon)
  • 1 teaspoon raw honey
  • ⅛ teaspoon sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon dried basil

For the Sauce

  • ¼ cup plain full fat Greek yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon yellow mustard (option for Dijon)
  • 1 teaspoon raw honey

Additional Filling

  • 1 medium apple
  • 1 cup heaping shredded smoked provolone cheese (option for a truffalo cheese or aged gouda)
  • 3 tablespoon raw honey
  • 6 tablespoon diced green onion

Instructions
 

Make the Chicken

  • In a small bowl combine lemon juice, mustard, honey, salt, and basil. Coat chicken breast with the mixture.
  • Add 1 tablespoon coconut oil to a small skillet or small saucepan ( I use a small Corning Ware casserole dish). Add chicken and make sure to use all the coating if there’s any left in the bowl.
  • Heat to low heat (level 2) and cook for about 25 minutes. Flip chicken and cook for another 15 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and let rest for at least 5 minutes. Thinly slice chicken and set aside.
  • Preheat oven to 375℉
  • Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.

Make the Sauce

  • Combine all ingredients for the sauce until smooth. Set aside.

Prepare the Additional Filling

  • Thinly slice apples as thin as you can get, dice green onion, shred cheese, and have honey handy. Set all aside.

Assembling Each Quesadilla

  • On each tortilla, spread on 1 tablespoon sauce leaving about ½” space around the edges.
  • Sprinkle about ¼ cup + 2 tablespoon shredded cheese over entire tortilla.
  • On half of the tortilla add ½ cup sliced chicken (⅓ of total chicken).
  • Drizzle 1 tablespoon honey over the chicken.
  • Add 2-3 tablespoon diced green onion over chicken.
  • Fold tortilla in half. Brush lightly with unrefined coconut oil or if you have it, lightly use coconut spray.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes, flip tortilla and bake for another 10-12 minutes.
  • Option to use rotisserie chicken or leftover chicken.
