Chipotle Chicken Tenders With Cucumber Slaw Recipes

CHIPOTLE SLAW

Steps:

• Combine the shredded green and purple cabbage in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, mix the milk, mayonnaise, sugar, vinegar, black pepper, cayenne, salt and chipotles and adobo sauce. Add more milk if you like the dressing a little thinner.
• Pour the dressing over the cabbage and toss to combine. Just before serving, toss in the cilantro. You can mix the slaw up to 2 hours before serving.

HONEY CHIPOTLE CHICKEN TENDERS RECIPE - (4.5/5)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Set a wire cooling rack over a jellyroll pan then spray it with cooking spray. In a medium non-stick saucepan, whisk together all the Chipotle Sauce ingredients. Set aside for now. In 3 separate bowls, put the flour in one, whisked eggs in another, and Panko crumbs in the other one. Set aside. Season chicken with a little salt and pepper. Dredge chicken in the flour, then dip into egg, and lastly coat with the bread crumbs. Place coated chicken tenders on the wire rack in the jellyroll pan. Bake for about 20 minutes. Remove from oven and carefully flip the chicken strips over and bake for another 10 minutes, or until chicken is done and golden. While the chicken strips are baking, bring the sauce mixture to a light boil over medium heat; then reduce heat to low/medium-low and let simmer to reduce and thicken slightly, whisking frequently. When chicken strips are finished baking, dip chicken strips in sauce and serve warm. (Optional, after dipping chicken in the sauce, I placed them back on the rack and oven broiled for a couple of minutes then served.) NOTE: Dipping the chicken in the sauce will soften the Panko coating somewhat, so for a crispier coating you may opt to just spoon the sauce over the chicken at serving time.

CHIPOTLE COLESLAW

Steps:

• Combine red cabbage, cabbage, carrot, mayonnaise, sour cream, chipotle chiles, adobo sauce, cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper in a bowl and mix thoroughly. Let sit for at least 1 hour before serving.

CHIPOTLE CHICKEN & SLAW

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Whisk the oil, chipotle paste and honey together in a large bowl. Add the chicken and toss to coat, then spread out on a non-stick baking tray. Roast for 30 mins, turning halfway through.
• Put the lime zest and juice, avocado flesh, yogurt and a good pinch of salt into a blender and blitz until completely smooth. Put the sauce in a large bowl with the cabbage, carrot and spring onion and toss to combine.
• Serve the drumsticks with the slaw and steamed corn, if you like.
