Easter Weekend

Easter weekend has not been friendly to Jeff's and my cooking habits. We both closed last night and we have to close today too. We come home tired and with no motivation to make anything worth blogging about.

Last night I got out before Jeff and decided to make avocado chicken sandwiches for dinner. I had chicken left over from the night before and most of the ingredients for the sandwiches at home. I did a quick run to HEB after work and got kaiser rolls and a small avocado. I was really craving a big hoss avocado, but have you seen the prices for those. Its $1 EACH. I wish it was like $1 a pound. That would really make my day. I wonder if we could grow some in the backyard?? hmm

Anyway, I tenderized the chicken and seasoned it with salt, pepper, garlic powder and Asian chili powder. Then I lightly breaded it and stuck it in the oven at 400 degrees F for 30 minutes. When that was done, I took them out and while they rested I cut the rolls in half, put pepper jack cheese and toasted them. We put our sandwich together with mustard, jalapenos, red onion, lettuce, and tomato.

Sorry I don't have any amazing pictures, but like I said. We were both tired and ready to eat and sleep. Holiday weekends are always long in the restaurant business. The only good thing is, Jeff and I have stuck to making home cooked dinners =]

Tonight I might have a little more motivation to cook and take pictures. We have one more chicken breast left, so I'll look around the kitchen and see what I can make.

Random picture, because I feel like this post is naked. This was last summer at the lake house for my brother's birthday. Those are the chicken sandwiches that I made last night, except we had whole avocado slices instead of guacamole.
