Ingredients
  

1 cup cooked chicken breast, shredded into bite-sized pieces

1 cup marinara sauce (your favorite brand)

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning blend

1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

4 large flour tortillas (10-inch diameter)

2 tablespoons olive oil, divided

Fresh basil leaves for garnish (optional)

Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions
 

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

    Assemble the Quesadillas: Lay one flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spoon a generous amount of the chicken mixture onto one half of the tortilla, spreading it evenly. Gently fold the other half of the tortilla over the filling to form a half-moon shape. Repeat this assembly process with the remaining tortillas and chicken mixture.

      Cook the Quesadillas: In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat until shimmering. Carefully place one folded quesadilla into the skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese inside is thoroughly melted. If cooking additional quesadillas, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil as needed.

        Cut into Bites: After cooking, remove the quesadillas from the skillet and let them cool for a minute. Using a sharp pizza cutter or knife, slice each quesadilla into small bite-sized triangles, making them easy to handle for serving.

          Serve: Arrange the mini quesadilla bites artfully on a serving platter for an inviting presentation. Consider offering a small bowl of extra marinara sauce on the side for dipping and garnish with fresh basil leaves for a touch of color and flavor.

            Enjoy!: These delightful mini chicken parm quesadilla bites make for a fantastic appetizer at parties, a fun finger food for family gatherings, or a delicious weeknight snack that everyone will love!
