Step-by-Step Instructions
- Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken with smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for about 10 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
- In a small bowl, whisk together honey and hot sauce to create the hot honey sauce. Slice the cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces and add it back to the skillet, pouring the hot honey mixture over it. Toss to coat.
- In a mixing bowl, combine sour cream, chopped jalapeños, lime juice, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt. Stir until well blended and creamy. Refrigerate the sauce while preparing quesadillas.
- Lay out a flour tortilla, layer with a generous amount of cheese, followed by the hot honey chicken, and sprinkle more cheese on top. Place another tortilla on top. Repeat to make desired number of quesadillas.
- Melt a tablespoon of butter in a skillet. Grill one assembled quesadilla for 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Flip and grill the other side for another 2-3 minutes until crispy.
- Remove from skillet, let rest, then slice into wedges. Serve hot with the Spicy Jalapeño Cream Sauce drizzled on top, garnished with fresh cilantro if desired.

Notes
Adjust hot sauce amount to suit spice tolerance. Ensure chicken reaches 165°F for safety. Use a non-stick skillet or enough butter to prevent sticking. Let cheese melt completely for gooeyness.
