Been craving something spicy and I had chicken tenders defrosted. I found this recipe that's been in my to-try file for a while from Cooking Light. The first thing I have to note, I had to use an additional teaspoon of oil than what was called for, the pan was dry when I flipped them.
I don't eat bleu cheese or mayo, so I skipped the "dressing" and instead served them with 2T of Ken's Light Ranch. Celery sticks and carrot coins made great sides.
I didn't find these super hot, and next time might up the spices some. But the flavor was great and the texture was too, nice and crunchy.
