Chipotle Chicken & Cheese Quesadillas with Pineapple Pico de Gallo are a light and fresh meal that is on the table in less than 30 minutes! While they pack a punch of flavor, they are light on fat and calories!
After eating almost a half batch of Pineapple Pico de Gallo with my favorite multi-grain chips around 4pm, I decided I should probably incorporate it into a real meal and add some protein. I scoured through my refrigerator and noticed that I had some Laughing Cow Light Queso Fresco & Chipotle cheese spread on hand. Normally I just use this creamy goodness on some pretzel chips for a light snack in the mid-afternoon, but I thought it would be great in a grilled quesadilla as well! That is how these delicious Chipotle Chicken & Cheese Quesadillas were born.

I enjoyed these so much, I made them two days in a row. The first day, I used a pre-seasoned fajita chicken breast I had on hand. You can make these with a plain grilled chicken breast, or just add a little taco or fajita seasoning for some added spice.
The second day I didn’t have any more chicken on hand, so I made them with just the cheese and they were still great. This would make a great vegetarian option for those not wanting to eat meat.
