Notes: Nothing in the kitchen smells better than onions carmelizing. They taste pretty darned good too. I thought this would be a simple but flavorful weeknight meal. It ended up taking a decent amount of time, too much really for a weeknight. The onions took quite a bit of time to carmelize down and in order to save getting everything in the kitchen dirty, I used the same pan to cook the chicken which also added to the time required. Besides the time to make they tasted really good. They were pretty thick but I had no problems with cheese not melting or the filling falling out. Perhaps in the future I would use less chicken since when it is shredded it has quite a bit more volume than when it is whole. Sara mentions that the taste, while good, is pretty one dimensional and I agree. I think in the future I would add cilantro or green onions, some fresh jalapenos, and some salsa at the table. I would definitely make this again but probably on a weekend when I have a little more time.
Sara’s Comments: This was a good solid meal, but it really shouldn’t have been called a quesadilla. They were very large, really more like burritos. While I really liked the carmelized onions, it did get a bit boring after a few bites. Would have liked less filling, and maybe more variety or something green and fresh to lighten it up.
