  1. Cook Fillings
    1. Cook the bacon slices in a large skillet over medium heat for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until crisp. Drain on paper towels, reserve 1 tablespoon of the bacon fat in the skillet, then crumble the bacon.
    6 slice Bacon slices
  2. 2. Pat the chicken breast dry and slice each horizontally into two thinner cutlets. Season with garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt and black pepper.
    2 piece Boneless skinless chicken breast, 1 tsp Garlic powder, 1 tsp Smoked paprika, 0.5 tsp Salt, 0.5 tsp Black pepper
  3. 3. Heat the reserved bacon fat over medium-high heat and cook the chicken for 5-6 minutes per side, until golden and cooked through to 165°F (74°C). Rest 5 minutes, then shred or finely dice.
  4. 4. Thinly slice the scallions. In a bowl, toss the chicken with half of the ranch dressing, the crumbled bacon and most of the scallions, saving a little scallion for garnish.
    6 slice Bacon slices, 0.5 cup Ranch dressing, 3 piece Scallions
  5. Assemble and Toast
    5. Toss the cheddar and Monterey Jack together. Lay a tortilla flat and sprinkle one half with a quarter of the cheese, top with a quarter of the chicken mixture, then another layer of cheese. Fold the tortilla over to form a half-moon. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
    2 cup Sharp cheddar cheese, freshly grated, 1 cup Monterey Jack cheese, freshly grated, 4 piece Large flour tortillas (10-inch)
  6. 6. Brush the outsides of the quesadillas lightly with melted butter. Cook in a clean skillet or griddle over medium heat for 3-4 minutes per side, pressing gently, until deep golden and crisp and the cheese is fully melted. Work in batches, keeping the finished ones warm in a 200°F (95°C) oven.
    2 tbsp Butter, melted
  7. Serve
    7. Rest the quesadillas for 2 minutes, cut into wedges, and sprinkle with the reserved scallions. Serve with the remaining ranch dressing for dipping.
    0.5 cup Ranch dressing, 3 piece Scallions
