Directions
Serves: 4
Cook Time: 30 minutes
- Cook chick’n tenders according to package instructions
- In a medium skillet over medium heat, add a little cooking oil. When hot, add bell pepper slices. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring, until tender.
- In a food processor, add all chimichurri ingredients. Pulse a few times to combine, but don’t puree; you want the sauce to have a chunky texture.
- When chick’n tenders are done cooking, remove and let cool, then chop.
- In a large bowl, add chopped lettuce, bell peppers, corn, avocado, and chopped chick’n tenders; toss to combine.
- Add chimichurri and toss to combine, or serve chimichurri on the side.
