Crispy Baked Pizza Chicken Quesadillas
We love to make pizza quesadillas as an easy weeknight meal. Marinara sauce, pizza seasonings, shredded chicken and cheese is covered with tortillas and baked until crispy. Top with sauce, cheese and pepperoni - boom! So easy and delicious.
Ingredients
- olive oil for brushing
- 1 cup cooked, shredded chicken
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 4 soft taco-size quesadillas, about 6 to 8 inches in diameter
- 1 cup marinara sauce
- 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella/italian blend cheese
- pepperoni, for topping
- parmesan cheese, for topping
- fresh basil, for topping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Brush a baking sheet with a drop of olive oil.
- In a bowl, toss the chicken well with the basil, oregano and garlic powder.
- Place two of the tortillas on the baking sheet. Spread a few tablespoons of the marinara on each. Top with a sprinkle of cheese. Add the chicken, divided evenly between each tortilla. Top with another sprinkle of cheese.
- Place the remaining tortillas on top. Stick the pan in the oven and bake for 6 to 8 minutes, until just golden.
- Remove the pan and gently flip the quesadillas. Top both tortillas with more marinara sauce, another sprinkle of cheese and the pepperoni. Return the pan to the oven for another 6 to 8 minutes.
- Remove and sprinkle with parmesan and fresh basil. Slice and serve!
