Crunchy Tortilla Chicken with Avocado Dip

Sorry about the crappy picture and out of focus chicken. It is actually a testament to how awesome this chicken tasted. Andrew was stealing pieces from the baking sheet when they came out of the oven. By the time I got out my camera he had already ran off with a plate and finished it.

I don't normally like breading things, and going through the coating process it. So I was happy this was an easy two stepper. Everything that coated this chicken was delicious on its own, so it made for a great combination and great chicken.

I was a little nervous when I was making the avocado dip because I had made vegan key lime tarts in the past which were basically avocado and lime and the smell makes me wrench a little. So I did my best to not inhale the dip. I am very glad I made it because it was a fantastic accompaniment to the tasty chicken.

So I have been very clear that we loved the chicken. We loved it fresh out of the oven crispy, and the next day at work reheated and a bit soggy. I have not yet taken a moment to flip through the cookbook Bite Me just yet. I literally opened the book to the correct page and went at it. Since I have started the Baking Beauties I have been trying to be more diligent in my life about only eating food I make, or others make, but not processed. So yes I make homemade ice cream and scarf it down, and you may or may not understand, but unfortunately this chicken, may never be made again in my home. I broke a huge rule bringing Tostitos into the house, actually even going down that isle in the grocery store. So I loved the chicken, but would I also just love eating Tostitos with melted cheese dipped in mayo alone, probably, and that is all I could see when I was eating lunch. So it is with a little apprehension as I turn the page, but I am open and ready to see what is next...
