Marinate the chicken breast with salt, black pepper, red chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, paprika, cumin powder, olive oil, and lime juice. Let it sit for a while.

Stir fry the green pepper, red pepper, and onion in a skillet until softened.

Cook the marinated chicken in the skillet until fully cooked and golden brown.

Prepare Pico de Gallo by mixing diced tomato, onion, chopped cilantro, salt, olive oil, lime juice, and jalapeno in a bowl.

Assemble the quesadilla by placing a tortilla in the skillet, adding the cooked chicken, cheese, and stir-fried veggies on one half, then folding it over.

Cook until the tortilla is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is melted.

Serve the quesadilla with Pico de Gallo, avocado sauce, or salsa.
