Chicken, Chard & Sun-Dried Tomato Quesadillas

Ingredients
- 1 Tablespoon oil
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 3 cups finely chopped chard leaves
- 1 Tablespoon water
- 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 4 ounces shredded cooked chicken
- 1/4 cup slivered oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, or 1/4 cup chopped fresh tomatoes
- 2 (8 inch) whole-wheat tortillas
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese
Instructions:
- Heat oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add onion; cook, stirring, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add garlic; cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Add chard, water, pepper and salt; cook, stirring, until the chard is tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Add chicken and tomatoes; cook, stirring, until heated through, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a bowl. Wash and dry the skillet.
- Place tortillas on a cutting board. Sprinkle each tortilla with 1/4 cup cheese. Spread about 1 cup chicken mixture across the bottom half of each tortilla and fold the top half over the chicken.
- Coat the skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium heat. Add the quesadillas and cook until the tortillas are browned and the cheese has melted, about 2 minutes per side. Cut into wedges to serve.
