Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

cooking spray
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 lb chicken breast tenders
1/4 cup fresh cilantro stem
2 tablespoons parsley sprigs
2 tablespoons blanched slivered almonds
1/2 garlic clove
1/2 serrano chili pepper, seeded (wear plastic gloves when handling)
1/16 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon water
1 sprig fresh cilantro, for garnish

Steps:

  • Coat a grill rack or broiler-pan rack with cooking spray. Preheat the grill or broiler.
  • In a cup, combine the chili powder, cumin, and salt. Cut two 1/2"-deep slashes in each side of the chicken tenders. Rub
  • the spice mixture over the chicken, pressing it into the slits. Place the chicken in a baking pan and coat completely with cooking spray. Let stand for 10 minutes.
  • In a food processor, combine the cilantro, parsley, almonds, garlic, chile pepper, and salt. Process until chopped. While
  • the processor is running, add the lime juice and oil through the feed tube, stopping the machine once or twice to scrape
  • down the sides of the container, until the sauce is smooth. Pour the sauce into a bowl. Stir in the water, cover, and chill until ready to serve.
  • Place the chicken on the prepared rack and grill or broil 6" from the heat, turning several times, for 15 minutes or until a thermometer inserted in the thickest portion registers 170°F and the juices run clear. Serve with the sauce and garnish
  • with the cilantro.

I didn't have any cilantro on hand, so I used parsley instead. The chicken fingers still tasted great.

This is the best chicken fingers recipe I've ever tried! The spice rub is flavorful and the chicken is so moist and tender. I made them in the air fryer and they turned out perfectly crispy. 5 stars!
