In the same skillet, sauté diced onions and sliced bell peppers in olive oil until tender (about 5 minutes). Season to taste.
Assemble each quesadilla by laying a tortilla in the skillet and layering half with cheese, followed by chicken and vegetables. Top with more cheese before folding.
Cook on both sides until golden brown and crispy (about 3-4 minutes per side).
Slice into wedges and serve warm with your favorite dips.
