We made these quesadillas for dinner last night and I really enjoyed them! I love goat cheese, so I knew that I would love this dish. I grilled my chicken on the BBQ before shredding it, which made it nice and tender and juicy. I followed all of the ingredients and instructions as posted. I didn't even top it with anything, it was good on it's own, though I do think tomato would be nice as you mentioned. I'll certainly make this again. Made for ZWT5. Thanks!

What a divine twist on the traditional quesadilla. I used fat free ricotta, a suggested alternative and tossed a couple of mushrooms into the filling. The lime and cilantro unify the chicken and cheese. I served mine with salsa verde which complemented the dish just perfectly. Thanks! Made for Potluck Tag.

What a great, fast, treat for lunch! Absolutely adored this. The only sad part is that after making this, I had to go find Dennis, who was sitting squarely on the tractor. The Quesadilla help up great as I had to run behind him to grab his attention. I seriously followed this exactly, loved the addition of chili sauce, and didn't add the egg white, as it held together firmly. I managed to slip bits of sliced tomato into the folded cheesy, chicken delight, and it really was terrific, with or without the extra tomato. I used shredded rotisserie chicken, along with a mixture of goat cheese & cheddar. Perfect, bluemoon! Will make this often ~ Made for *I Recommend* game.

July 2008 update: VERY happy to be back on Zaar after about a two year absence due to having had no internet connection at home, and having been too unwell for a time so that getting re-connected wasn't even a priority!
<br>
<br>And really looking forward to getting back into the Zaar world and connecting again with the many wonderful people I knew before, and new people, of course!
