Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Brush a baking sheet with a drop of olive oil.
  2. In a bowl, toss the chicken well with the basil, oregano and garlic powder.
  3. 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.
  4. Place the remaining tortillas on top. Stick the pan in the oven and bake for 6 to 8 minutes, until just golden.
  5. 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.
  6. Remove and sprinkle with parmesan and fresh basil. Slice and serve!
