Chicken Quesadilla with Smoked Onion Dip

This is a recipe that I incorporated from restaurant. Its a good value meal because you can reuse the chicken again. It has three parts and is quite a good and easy dish (somewhat).

Chicken Quesadilla
Ingredients:
2 Tortillas
Butter

Baked Chicken-
One full spring Chicken
Black pepper
Cajun Spice
Salt
Red Wine
Honey


Dipping Sauce-

One cup of white Onion
Mayonnaise
Sour Cream
Milk
Worcestershire Sauce





Filling
Ketchup
Tabasco Sauce
Black Pepper
Honey
Diced Tomatoes
Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
Red Onion




Steps:
First off, marinade the Chicken with the Honey, Black Pepper, Cajun Spice and Salt. Add the Red Wine to the bowl and taste to check if the flavors balance each other well. Then Leave the Chicken within the Marinade for at least 2 hours so that the flavors will seep into the Chicken. Next bake the chicken in the oven for an hour. The texture of the chicken will be nice and covered and the meat will be tender.
                                   

Secondly focus on making the dip. Chop the White Onion into slices and then smoke it for at least an hour preferably over Hickory wood chips. The flavors of the Onion will be brought out after smoking it . Then get a blender and Put in the White Onions, Mayonnaise, Sour Cream, Milk and Worcestershire Sauce and blend it for a while. Make sure that the sauce is smooth and creamy as the dip.
                   









When the Chicken has fully baked, shred the breast meat for the Quesadillas filling. You can eat the rest of the Chicken on it's own or as Chicken Sandwiches. Then prepare the other filling ingredients, Grate the Mozzarella cheese, Dice the Red Onions and the tomatoes.
Now to Prepare the Filling Sauce. Get a bowl and mix together the Ketchup, Black pepper, Honey and Tabasco. Alter the amounts depending on your taste. (as in spicy or sweet). Then add all of the filling ingredients except the cheese into the sauce and mix together well.


Now your ready to make the Quesadilla. First Fry some butter on the Frying Pan and then put the Tortilla flat onto the pan. Then Immediately Put your mixed Filling onto one side of the wrap. Add the cheese and then cover it with the other side of the wrap. Press it down so that the Tortilla will hold together. After the bottom side is cooked, flip the whole tortilla again so that the other side will be nice and brown.



















 When both sides are finished cooking Cut the Quesadilla into three slices and then Plate. Add the dipping sauce into a small plate and put it into the center. Garnish the top with Mozzarella cheese and some Scallions then add Basil leaf into the Dipping Sauce. Voila you got Quesadillas.
