Chicken Sandwiches with Sundried Tomato Spread, Avocado, Caramelized Onions, and Spinach
Posted on April 6th, 2009 by theapartmentkitchen
Matt and I are in a habit of going grocery shopping everyday. At first, I hated this. I would make lists, try to plan ahead, and buy in bulk. Matt on the other hand, would casually suggest another trip to the store – for something we forgot, or something he just started craving, or something we didn’t even know we needed. Then he’ll wander the produce and meat aisles aimlessly, looking at sales and colors until – quite suddenly – he’ll stop at something. And that something becomes our dinner.
I hate to admit that not I love going to the store each day. We never throw food away because we bought too much, and we can decide each day what sounds good (or looks good). Plus, it’s a part of our day we enjoy together – before we even get into the kitchen. This morning Matt headed out to the store and brought a large package of thinly sliced chicken tenderloin and a bagful of all other kinds of goodies. We were starving, and dug in with the quickest thing we could make: sandwiches.

This sandwich looks so delicious and so easy to make. I was wondering if you would grant permission for me to use it (along with the picturs) on our website http://www.nzavocado.co.nz. We aim to show people how versatile the avocado is do this in part by having a recipe section on our website showing people they can do all sorts of things with this wonderful fruit.
We would attribute to you and have a link back to your blog.
I look forward to hearing from you.
