The Hellmann’s® Chicken Change-Up gives parents “easy recipes to turn every-night chicken into outrageously juicy mealtime favorites”. This week’s Hellmann’s® recipe is for all the picky eaters out there.
I know the picky eater all too well. . . I have one in my family and I used to be one.
When you coat chicken in a seasoned mayonnaise mixture and adhere crushed up tortilla chips to it the picky eater will be the first one to the table. Especially since the smells wafting through the cracks in the oven door as it bakes is enough to drive anyone crazy with hunger!
I fully expected the picky eater to skip the avocado salsa but was I surprised when they not only ate it but really, really liked it. So much so that they almost broke out in a happy dance the next day at lunch time when they found out the leftovers had their name written all over them.
Super crunchy on the outside, a little bit spicy, tender and juicy on the inside with a Tex-mex flair – how can anyone resist? Not this recovering picky eater!
