Recipe here.
This recipe is genius. Pure, utter genius. If you're going to be at home for a couple of hours before dinner, but would rather be playing xylophones and Duplo with your toddler than slaving over the stove, but still want to serve up something delicious for dinner, this is the recipe for you.
I hadn't ever bought chicken tenders before, and when I went shopping, I saw that they cost far more per weight than ordinary old chicken breast. I squinted at them through their packaging and really couldn't see that they were anything other than chicken breast cut into small strips. So I simply bought chicken breast and sliced it up myself. If this was an inferior product, I certainly didn't notice.
The only thing I'd do differently next time is that I'd use a better salsa. I had had a jar of La Victoria tomatillo salsa in the back of my pantry for many months, so I used that, but next time I might get a container of fresh salsa from the Mexican section of my grocery store, which costs more or less the same, but might have a more interesting flavor. The other thing you could do is tip a can of green enchilada sauce over it, I suppose.
That said, the seasonings on the chicken were perfect, and I loved that I didn't have to brown the chicken or anything first. I find most things to do with preparing meat utterly, utterly tedious and don't want to do them, so the fact that all I had to do was slice one large chicken breast was most welcome.
Definitely adding this one to the list of keepers. We ate it with cilantro lime rice, also from Skinnytaste, which was also wonderful.
