|—|—|
| 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (shredded) | |
| 1/2 cup marinara sauce | |
| 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese | |
| 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese | |
| 1/4 cup chopped red onion (optional) | |

Cooking Guide
- In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken, marinara sauce, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese (reserve a little for garnish), red onion (if using), and parsley (if using). Mix well.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil.
- Place one tortilla in the skillet. Spread a generous portion of the chicken parmesan filling over half of the tortilla.
- Fold the tortilla in half, pressing down gently to form a semi-circle.
- Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cheese is melted. Use a spatula to press down occasionally for even cooking.
- Repeat steps 3-5 for the remaining tortillas.
- Cut quesadillas into wedges and serve immediately with additional marinara sauce for dipping, and a sprinkle of reserved Parmesan cheese (optional).
Tips
- You can use leftover grilled, baked, or rotisserie chicken for this recipe.
- For a spicier quesadilla, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the filling.
- If you don’t have marinara sauce, you can use your favorite pizza sauce or pasta sauce.
- Feel free to add other vegetables to the filling, such as chopped bell peppers, mushrooms, or spinach.
- Make it vegetarian by swapping the chicken with cooked and seasoned lentils or crumbled tofu.
