Directions
Prepare the Filling
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken breast, pesto sauce, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Assemble the Quesadillas
Lay one flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread a generous amount of the chicken and cheese mixture on one half of the tortilla. Fold the other half over to create a half-moon shape. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
Cook the Quesadillas
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, place one quesadilla in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and the cheese has melted. Remove from the skillet and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining quesadillas, adding more olive oil as needed.
Serve
Cut each quesadilla into wedges and serve warm. Enjoy your pesto quesadillas with additional pesto or marinara sauce on the side, if desired.
