Dairy-Free Greek Chicken Quesadilla

Ready in about 5 minutes, this dairy-free Greek Chicken Quesadilla is a simple and flavorful lunch idea you’ll want to make again and again. This Greek inspired twist on a traditional quesadilla comes together with tortillas, vegan feta, leftover chicken thighs, and Roma tomatoes.

Greek flavored foods are having a moment in our kitchen this year thanks to my new go-to recipe for chicken thighs. We honestly have been making these Greek marinated chicken thighs every other week for a simple and flavorful meal the family loves.

I enjoy having a few left over grilled chicken breasts that I can toss into a wrap, on a salad, or over a hummus bowl. Most recently (around Cinco de Mayo) we added these juicy chicken thighs into a simple quesadilla and our world has been forever changed.

Why We Love These Greek Inspired Quesadillas

Here are some of my favorite reasons to make these easy dairy-free Greek inspired quesadillas.

• Great for left-overs. I love using some of the leftover chicken thighs to make these simple quesadillas for lunch or dinner.
• Ready in minutes. With a cook time of under 5 minutes you really can’t beat how quick and easy they are to make.
• Fun twist on a traditional quesadilla.

Dairy-Free Changes to Quesadillas

For these easy Greek chicken quesadillas, be sure to keep this one ingredient in mind.

• Vegan feta crumbles– The base of this quesadilla uses vegan feta crumbles in place of a traditional melty cheese to give it a tangy flavor perfect for complimenting the Greek inspired chicken.

How to Make A Dairy-Free Greek Chicken Quesadilla

Ingredients You’ll Need

• Tortillas– Two flour tortillas, homemade or store bought work best in this recipe.
• Vegan Feta Cheese– I used Follow Your Heart Vegan Feta Crumbles for this recipe.
• Greek Chicken Thighs– Leftovers work perfectly in this recipe.
• Roma Tomatoes– Seeded and diced.

Step-by-Step Directions for Dairy-Free Greek Chicken Quesadillas

• Heat a skillet over medium low heat.
• Add tortilla to the pan.
• Sprinkle on the toppings: Sprinkle vegan feta cheese, bits of chicken, and Roma tomatoes over the top.

• Top with remaining tortilla and cook until the bottom tortilla is lightly brown.
• Flip: Using a large spatula, flip the tortilla carefully (to prevent the fillings from falling out).
• Cook about 2-3 minutes or until the bottom is lightly brown.
• Remove from heat and serve.

Notes and Variations for This Dairy-Free Greek Chicken Quesadilla

This is not your traditional quesadilla recipe where you will get that iconic cheese pull. While the vegan feta crumbles will melt a little bit in the cooking process they will not coat/surround/or melt into a traditional cheese texture.

If you want something that will melt around the different toppings simply sub one tablespoon of the vegan feta crumbles for a vegan mozzarella.

Some other toppings you might want to include on this quesadilla include:

• Sliced black or green olives
• Thin sliced red onion
• Sliced peperoncini peppers
• Fresh dill

Helpful Kitchen Tools

When you are ready to whip up a quick and easy Greek chicken quesadilla, here are some kitchen tools you might find helpful along the way.

• 8-inch Skillet– A little larger than the tortilla you plan to use.
• Large Spatula– Great for flipping the quesadilla without spilling the fillings.
