KETO CHICKEN QUESADILLA
Saturday, May 25, 2019
These are perfect for meal prep or when you're in need for a quick and easy recipe! I really like to make them on Sundays for football so I feel like I’m eating chicken wings lol.
For some reason when I’m dieting I crave buffalo chicken wings! Unfortunately, they don’t fit into my macros so I have to improvise! I've had buffalo chicken quesadillas at restaurants and really enjoyed them, so I had the idea to make them at home and make them macro-friendly!
Let me tell you, these are a new favorite in this house! My husband who doesn’t track macros LOVES them! It will feel like you are “cheating” on your diet, but your not! It will easily fit into your macros, and I’m not talking about where you can fit something in but have to eat salad the rest of the day lol.
This keto-friendly chicken quesadilla recipe is going to make you dance with joy. A grain-free low carb quesadilla that will surely satisfy that Mexican food craving.
