Salsa Verde Chicken

By now I am sure that you have figured out that I like relative quick and easy recipes.  That is the key to eating healthy right?  I don't know very many people that have hours and hours to prepare a good healthy meal.  This is a quick and simple recipe that you can pair with just about anything.  Quinoa, grilled veggies, steamed veggies, baked veggies, tossed salad, Cesar salad.  Whatever you can come up with.  For this particular recipe, I typically double for my family!

  • 1/2 cup salsa Verde (check the label, make sure there isn't any hidden sugars)
  • juice of 1 lime
  • 1 teaspoon chile powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon pressed garlic
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 to 3 pounds chicken tenders 
Directions
  1. In a small mixing bowl, combine the salsa verde, lime juice, chile powder, cumin, and garlic. Mix well.
  2. Whisk in the oil.
  3. Place the chicken in a glass dish. Pour marinade over the top. Cover and refrigerate. Marinate for 2 hours or longer.
  4. Cook chicken over hot grill until cooked through and juices run clear.
