  • 1 pound Chicken Tenders substitute chicken breast cut into strips
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy clean-up. Spray the foil with no-stick spray. Set aside.
  • Place the lime juice, oil and the five spices in a large zip-top bag and seal. Smush the ingredients to blend them.
  • Rinse the chicken tenders under cool water, pat them dry, and place them in the bag. Reseal the bag and smush again to coat the tenders.
  • Arrange the chicken on the baking sheet and bake for 15 to 17 minutes. Chicken is done cooking when it reaches an internal temperature to 165°F (74°C).

Notes

You can marinate the chicken overnight by placing all of the ingredients in the zip-top bag and placing it in the refrigerator. 
If desired, serve with blue cheese or ranch dressing.
