Lime Tortilla Chicken Strips
Lime Tortilla Chicken Strips
"These lime tortilla chicken strips can go directly from freezer to oven, and are delicious served on a Nourish Bowl! We all have those nights. The ones when you just CAN’T adult anymore. And it usually happens sometime around….Thursday. At least that’s how it goes around our house. Ambitious dinners are for Sundays, or even Mondays. By the time Thursday rolls around, it’s got to be super simple. Lucky for us, simple can also be delicious!"

When oven is heated, arrange the chicken strips on the baking sheet, leaving a few inches between each one.
