Chipotle Lime Crusted Chicken Tenders
Want to put a little more fiesta in your summer? I have just the inspiration today by the way of mouthwatering Chipotle Lime Crusted Chicken Tenders. Not sure about you but the combination of chipotle and lime always make me say yes please. Post is sponsored.
These are perfect for any fun celebrations that you want to take to the next level.
They only take 15 minutes to bake up in the oven.
Now, that makes me smile big time!
Since we've moved across the country, I've been starved of friends and family. Luckily we get visits about every 6 weeks and boy to we take advantage by cramming it lot's of fun!
My best friend and family promises to visit soon, they have a pretty big family and some of those little guys are picky.
I think this recipe will win them over, we shall see. My hubby and son both said this was the best chicken I've ever made.
I try not to take that personally, lol. Isn't it funny how an amazing compliment can make you question the things you've done in the past or in this case all of the chicken I've ever made in my life. Ha!
I totally have Target to thank for this unbelievable recipe idea using a delicious Hellmann's Mayonnaise mixture for the base. It took me just minutes to prepare, I had these ready in under 30 minutes! Ooh yeah!
When you're hosting a part-tay, the last thing you want to do is serve up recipes that will take you away from your guests.
In my opinion, it's all about simple, but delicious cuisine and lots of shortcuts.
As long as the company is excellent, things will always be perfect.
That's where Target can come in. Hopefully you're ahead of the game, but if not, no worries.
There are some amazing savings that you'll want to get in on in order to save on all of your very own summer fiestas! More on that in a minute, let's get this recipe!
