Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded

1 cup marinara sauce

2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

4 large flour tortillas

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Fresh basil leaves, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, marinara sauce, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Mix until well combined.

    Preheat the Pan: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

      Assemble the Quesadilla: Place one tortilla in the skillet and spread a generous portion of the chicken mixture over half of the tortilla. Fold the other half over to create a semicircle.

        Cook the Quesadilla: Cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until the bottom is golden brown. Carefully flip the quesadilla using a spatula and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes on the other side until it's crispy and the cheese is melted.

          Repeat: Remove the cooked quesadilla from the pan and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil. Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and chicken mixture, adding more oil to the pan as needed.

            Serve: Cut each quesadilla into wedges and serve hot. Garnish with fresh basil leaves, if desired. Pair with additional marinara sauce for dipping.
