It’s Saturday!!!! I love Saturdays. I can wake up at noon, have a great brunch, and then take a nap j/k! But I could if I really wanted to. Actually, I did two of those three things…you can guess which ones. Thebaguettebear is staying with us this week and my roomie works on Saturdays and comes back for a late lunch break. So sometimes I like to surprise her with a special lunch.
I love breakfast sandwiches, but they’re usually too greasy and definitely not fresh. I usually feel sleepy and my stomach gets all growly bear on me after eating one of those. It’s great to make your own breakfast sandwich because you can use all the high quality produce and meats you want. I like to start off with some really amazing bread. Luckily cheeseboard makes these large english muffins. They’re perfect for a breakfast sandwich.
I got them when they were fresh from the oven and still warm. Sooo good. Thebaguettebear says that it’s the bread that makes a great sandwich, and I totally agree. For this sandwich I chose to make a cajun style chicken. I love the kick that it gives a breakfast sandwich. Breakfast sandwiches are also a great way to get rid of left overs =)
I used a variation on a cajun chicken recipe form recipezaar.com. After sauteing the chicken in my new All-Clad Saute Pan, I let it rest for a few minutes while I sliced some fresh vine ripened tomatoes and avocado. I also scrambled an egg and seasoned it with a pinch of salt and pepper. Then I shredded the chicken into more bite sized pieces and sauteed them for a minute more. I really like the final step because the cajun seasoning really gets into every bite. The shredded chicken also gives it a nice texture. It’s still very filling yet light at the same time. Absolutely Delicious! Next time I’ll put some more greens in for a bit of crunch. Arugula and green sprouts would definitely take it to another level!
