Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded

1 cup marinara sauce

2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

4 large flour tortillas

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

1 tablespoon olive oil

Fresh basil leaves, for garnish (optional)

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken with marinara sauce, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix well until the chicken is fully coated.

    Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a teaspoon of olive oil, swirling to coat the pan.

      Place one tortilla in the skillet and sprinkle a quarter of the mozzarella cheese on half of the tortilla, followed by a generous portion of the chicken mixture, and then top with a quarter of the Parmesan cheese.

        Fold the tortilla in half, covering the filling. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side until golden and crispy. Carefully flip the quesadilla and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the other side is also golden and the cheese has melted.

          Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and let it sit for a minute before cutting it into wedges.

            Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and filling.

              Serve warm, garnished with fresh basil leaves and extra marinara sauce on the side for dipping.
