Ingredients
  

1 cup cooked chicken breast, shredded

1 cup marinara sauce (your favorite brand)

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

4 large flour tortillas

2 tablespoons olive oil (divided)

Fresh basil leaves for garnish (optional)

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, marinara sauce, Italian seasoning, mozzarella cheese, and grated Parmesan cheese. Season the mixture with salt and pepper according to your taste preferences. Stir well until all the ingredients are thoroughly combined and the cheeses are evenly distributed.

    Assemble the Quesadillas: Place a large flour tortilla flat on a clean cutting board or work surface. Spoon a generous portion of the chicken mixture onto one half of the tortilla. Carefully fold the other half of the tortilla over the filling to create a half-moon shape. Repeat this step with the remaining tortillas and chicken mixture until all are assembled.

      Cook the Quesadillas: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the folded quesadilla to the skillet. Cook for approximately 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese inside has melted. If cooking multiple quesadillas, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet as needed to prevent sticking.

        Cut into Bite-Sized Pieces: Once the quesadillas are cooked to perfection, transfer them to a cutting board and allow them to cool for a minute. Using a pizza cutter or a sharp knife, slice each quesadilla into small triangles, creating bite-sized pieces perfect for snacking.

          Serve: Arrange the mini quesadilla bites on a serving platter, adding a small bowl of extra marinara sauce on the side for dipping. If desired, garnish with fresh basil leaves to add a pop of color and flavor.

            Enjoy!: These mini chicken parm quesadilla bites make an excellent choice for parties, appetizers, or a fun and tasty weeknight snack!
