Mortise question

Furnished content.
(from WoodNet.net)


Building a small table to go between chairs. Legs are 1 3/4" square with 3 drawers in the front. Just built a mortising jig which I'll use for the rails using the router. I need to make horizontal mortises on the front insides of the front legs to accept the drawer dividers which are 1 3/4" wide to match the legs. They are 3/4" thick. No problem making those tenons, but I'm drawing a blank on the best way to make the horizontal mortises. Would like to use my router instead of Forster bits with the drill press and cleaning up with a chisel. My mortising jig isn't set up to do this. Any ideas?
