Healthy Chicken Quesadillas with hidden butter nut squash ssshhhh!!

This recipe will knock your socks off! Kid tested and approved. I am determined to help my children eat healthy so I can set them up for success for a healthy and fulfilling life. Your health all stems from what you put into your body. I am trying different favorite recipes and will post each one. I'll let you know which one's my daughter likes, the one's she refuses to eat, and one's she absolutely hates. I think this might be a favorite as she gobbled it down! I'm not one for exact measurements, I just use my judgement but check out the recipe below.

1/2 boneless chicken breast cut into pieces
1/8 tsp chilli powder
1/2 cup shredded reduced fat Cheddar cheese
4 whole wheat tortillas
1/2 cup salsa
1/2 cup pureed butter nut squash
1/2 cup reduced fat sour cream or greek yogurt

Note: I pre-baked my chicken earlier in the day on 350 for 25 minutes. (not required)

Preheat oven to 400
Coat non stick skillet with cooking spray or olive oil. Add chicken and sprinkle the chili powder and cook until crispy or until no longer pink if you didn't bake earlier. Cut the chicken into thin slices or puree if needed.
Mix the butternut squash puree and cheese.
Spread the sour cream or greek yogurt on two tortilla wraps. Arrange the chicken and add the cheese mixture on top. Layer with the other 2 tortillas and bake for 5-10 minutes or until crispy to your liking.

Hope you enjoy this as much as we did yum!
