Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb chicken tenders
  • 1 cup salsa verde store-bought or homemade
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 large avocado sliced
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 lime cut into wedges
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish optional

Method
 

  1. Marinate chicken in salsa verde, yogurt, garlic powder, paprika, and salt for 15–30 minutes in fridge. I do 15 when we’re pressed.
  2. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add tenders and cook 3–4 minutes per side until golden and cooked through.
  3. Let rest 3 minutes, then top with avocado slices and cilantro. Squeeze lime over everything.
  4. Serve with rice, tortillas, or a quick green salad. My kids like scooping with chips.
