1. Cook the bacon in a large sauté pan, over medium-high heat, until done and crispy. Set aside the bacon, reserving the drippings.
2. In the same pan, sauté the onions over medium heat in one tablespoon of the bacon drippings until they are golden brown; set aside.
3. In the same pan, sauté the sliced chicken breast over medium-high heat until they are done to a temperature of 165°F, about 8-10 minutes; set aside.
4. In each of the four tortillas, place one-fourth cup of shredded cheddar cheese over half of the tortilla. Then add one-fourth of the cooked bacon pieces, one-fourth of the chicken, one-fourth of the onions and another one-fourth cup of cheese to each tortilla. Fold them in half to make the quesadillas.
5. In a dry large sauté pan, cook the quesadillas over medium heat for three to five minutes on each side or until they are crispy and golden brown and the cheese is melted inside.

*Try changing the sauce to barbecue or ranch to give the quesadillas a new flare.
