WHAT IS THE KETOGENIC DIET?
If you haven’t heard of The ketogenic diet (often called keto), it’s a very low-carb, high-fat diet that shares similarities to paleo, Whole30, and Atkins. It involves drastically reducing carbohydrate intake, and replacing it with fat. When your body switches to burning fat for its primary fuel source, that’s when you hit ketosis.
While on the Keto diet you’re supposed to get at least 70 percent of your calories from fat, 15 to 25 percent from protein, and 10 percent from carbohydrates. You’re supposed to avoid all grains, legumes, root vegetables, fruit, (except berries) and sugar.

INGREDIENTS
1 Cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
1 Cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
1/4 Cup Franks Red Hot Sauce
2 Tbsp Melted Butter
1 Cup Shredded Cooked Chicken
DIRECTIONS
1. Pre heat oven to 400 F. In a small bowl mix the hot sauce and butter together. Pour over the shredded chicken. Then mix until the chicken is well coated. Place the chicken into a baking dish and bake for 14 minutes, stirring half way.
2. Cover a pizza pan with Parchment Paper (NOT wax paper). Mix the Cheeses together, then evenly spread them over the parchment paper (in a circle shape). Bake the cheese shell for 5 minutes. Pour off any extra oil as soon as it comes out of the oven.
2. Place the chicken over half of the cheese shell. Fold the Cheese shell in half over the chicken. Press it firmly, then return it to the oven for another 4- 5 minutes.
3. Serve with sour cream or ranch dressing. Garnish with chopped fresh basil, parsley or cilantro.
RECIPE NOTES:
– I let cheese shell cool for a minute then flipped it over before putting the filling onto it. This step isn’t necessary but I found that it made the quesadilla look a little prettier.
– To reheat, preheat oven to 400 F. Bake for 6-8 minutes (if cold, a little less if room temp).
– When making the cheese shell, make sure to spread the cheese evenly over the pan. If there’s too much in the centre, the middle will stay soft and the edges will cook too fast.
