Marinate the boneless chicken with garlic powder, paprika, ground cumin, salt, black pepper, red chili powder, and lemon juice for 15-20 minutes.

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a pan over medium flame.

Add the marinated chicken to the pan and fry on medium to high flame for about 4-5 minutes until cooked through.

Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.

In the same pan, add sliced bell peppers and sliced onion, and sauté on high flame for 2-3 minutes until slightly colored.

Set the sautéed vegetables aside for assembly.

Take a tortilla and spread mozzarella cheese on one half.

Add the cooked chicken and sautéed vegetables on top of the cheese.

Sprinkle more cheese on top based on preference.

Fold the tortilla over to cover the filling.

Grease a grill pan with butter and heat on medium flame.

Place the folded quesadilla in the pan and cook on low to medium flame until crispy and golden brown, and the cheese melts, about 3-4 minutes.

Flip the quesadilla, greasing the other side with butter, and cook until golden and cheese is melted.

Remove from the pan and serve.
