Chili Lime Chicken Tenders



This chicken was a big hit with my family, we grilled it outdoors and served it with Spanish rice and beans (which I of course didn't eat) along with fresh fruit. It could be a bit spicy for young children, I would suggest cutting the chili powder in half for them.

Chili Lime Chicken Tenders

Ingredients:

20 chicken tenders

1/3 c. olive oil
2 T. red wine vinegar
juice of 4 limes
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 T. chili powder
2 tsp. cumin
2 green onions, sliced
1/2 tsp. salt
pepper to taste

Method:
Combine all ingredients and pour over chicken tenders. Let marinate at least 3 hours. Place tenders directly from marinade onto hot grill, cook as usual, discard marinade.

  2. Actually my son loves spicy food, he'll put chili powder on his hand and lick it off (and I can't get him to eat veggies). I'll have to try this.

  3. Hi Mrs. Ed, maybe you could try putting chili powder on his veggies! If only life were that easy :)
