Lime-Ginger Chicken Tenders
TOTAL TIME: Prep/Total Time: 30 min.
YIELD: 4 servings.
We cook a lot of boneless, skinless chicken breasts because they're low in fat, high in protein, and almost always a smart buy at the grocery store. To keep things exciting, I add a few of our favorites to the mix like jalapenos, lime and fresh ginger. —Samantha Anderson, Fort Worth, Texas
