Ingredients
  

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 cup marinara sauce

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Salt and pepper to taste

4 large flour tortillas

2 tablespoons olive oil (for cooking)

Fresh basil leaves (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preparation of Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. In a skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Cook the chicken breasts for about 7-8 minutes on each side or until cooked through and no longer pink in the center. Once cooked, remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes before slicing into thin strips.

    Assembly of Quesadilla: Lay out two tortillas on a clean surface. Spread ½ cup of marinara sauce on each tortilla. Distribute the sliced chicken evenly over the sauce on both tortillas. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese and grated Parmesan cheese on top of the chicken. Place the remaining tortillas over the filled ones to create two quesadillas.

      Cooking the Quesadilla: In the same skillet (clean it if needed) over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Carefully place one quesadilla in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes until the bottom is golden and crispy. Flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the other side is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Repeat with the second quesadilla.

        Serving: Once both quesadillas are cooked, remove them from the skillet and let cool for a minute. Cut into wedges and serve warm with extra marinara sauce for dipping. Garnish with fresh basil leaves for a touch of freshness.
