This recipe has quickly become one of our favorite dishes to make. It’s got just enough heat to it and the fresh lime juice keeps it cool. These tasty chicken strips are great served fresh from the oven, or use them to slice up hot or cold and top a salad! They are so versatile and you’re sure to love them!!
Little ditty for you… Neil secretly loves junk food, like L.O.V.E.S the stuff. McDonalds, Burger King, Carls, DQ etc. he loves them all. I often hear from clients that they find it difficult to manage their diet when their spouse / partner has a palate such a Neil’s. What I suggest is to find sensible recipe overhauls like these amazing chicken fingers and serve them often. Provided your willing to cook the meal and the food tastes half decent I guarantee your junk food junky will quickly oblige to eating in.
