Taco Spiced Chicken Strips w/ Creamy Avocado Sauce
Author: Rachel's Healthy Plate
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 lb chicken breast, cut into strips
- 6 tbsp (33g) cornflake crumbs
- 1.5 tbsp taco seasoning
- salt and pepper, to taste*
- 1 avocado
- ½ c plain fat free greek yogurt
- 1 tsp hot sauce, to taste
- juice from ½ lime
- ⅛ tsp garlic powder
- 2 tbsp cilantro, chopped, optional
- salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Place chicken strips into a bowl and sprinkle with the taco season. Toss until the strips are well coated. Season with additional salt and pepper, if desired. *
- Place cornflake crumbs on a small plate and roll each chicken strip in the crumbs, coating well. Set aside on a baking sheet. ( The chicken is moist so the crumbs should have no trouble sticking. If they need a little help add about 1 tsp water to the bowl of chicken and taco seasoning.)
- Cook - AIRFRYER: cook chicken strips in the airfryer at 400F, about 12 minutes, until internal temperature reaches 165F. OVEN: cook chicken strips on a non-greased baking sheet at 375F, about 15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until internal temperature reaches 165F.
- Make the Sauce: In a small bowl mash the avocado with a fork until the avocado is mostly smooth. Stir in greek yogurt, hot sauce, lime juice, garlic powder, and cilantro. Season with salt and pepper.
