image from Martha StewartI've always wanted to make this dish, it's simple and easy to make in the crock-pot. I got the recipe over at crockpot365.
40 Clove Garlic Chicken
3-4 pounds whole chicken
1 large onion sliced
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon pepper
20-40 garlic cloves, peeled, but intact
Super Easy
peeling the garlic took about 15 minutes- next time, I'll have the kids help with this task.
Save all extra chicken, garlic and onions you don't eat for another recipe.

To make the Confetti Quesadillas
4 10" whole wheat tortillas
garlic and onion left overs from chicken
1 cup spicy corn and peppers
1 cup diced chicken
1 cup of Monterrey jack cheese
1/2 cup sour cream
1 avocado
To make the quesadillas I preheated the oven to 425 degrees. I placed two whole wheat 10" tortillas on a baking sheet. I spread the leftover onion and garlic from the crock-pot recipe on top of the tortillas, then sprinkled on the spicy corn, chicken and cheese and covered with another tortilla. Place in oven and bake for 10 minutes. Take out of oven and flip quesadillas over and bake for another 5 minutes. Serve with sour cream avocado and hot sauce.
