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.

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.

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
