Chicken Quesadillas

...how do I incorporate healthy grains at lunch that don't taste like cardboard?

My husband has been recently diagnosed with high cholesterol - however some changes in his diet should be all that is needed. Because of this I have been searching for great tasting ways to incorporate ingredients that lower cholesterol & avoid the "bad stuff" as much as we can. Because of this I have fallen in love with Kontos multi grain flatbreads.

2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 cups chicken broth
Pepper
Sour Cream
Salsa
2 Kontos Flatbreads
Cheese
Green Onions
Taco Seasoning (Bought or homemade)

1) Place 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts  in crockpot & cover with 2 cups chicken broth or enough to cover half the chicken

2) Grind black pepper over chicken

3) Cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4.

4) Retain broth in container & freeze for soups etc

Homemade Taco Seasoning

1 tablespoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon black pepper

5) Add homemade taco seasoning, chicken & 2 tsps of broth to food processor & pulse until well mixed

6) Add sour cream to 1 flatbread & salsa to another

7) Add chicken mixture, cheese & green onions to 1 flatbread; cover with other

8) Place on baking sheet at 375F for 15 mins or until flatbreads are crsipy & cheese is melted

9) Cut in 4 wedges & serve with diced jalapenos, sour cream & salsa
