My boys seem to be more Peruvian than anything else even though “technically” they’re only one-quarter Peruvian. By this I simply mean they like things spicy. I used to think I had a pretty high tolerance for heat until my Reece, at the age of 5, started telling me that the “spicy” salsa had no heat. #awkward

I guess I’m a wimp compared to these guys.

I’m always having to “spice” things up a bit in the kitchen to keep my kiddos interested and these Sriracha Almond Crusted Chicken Strips nailed it on all counts. Not overly spicy, but with just enough heat to keep things interesting, these chicken strips were devoured by my family.

5 SECRETS TO GETTING DINNER ON THE TABLE...FAST!

I took a cue from my Almond Crusted Chicken Strips and made these extra heart-healthy. I used Sriracha Blue Diamond Almonds – my latest obsession to get that extra kick of flavor. Perfection.

First, I throw the almonds in the food processor until finely chopped.

Then I mix in some flour (any kind of flour works here!), garlic powder, salt and pepper. It’s the sriracha flavor that I really want to shine through. Drizzle in some olive oil and you’re ready to rock and roll.

The chicken breasts are cut into strips and then dipped into beaten egg whites and dredged in the awesomeness  you see above. Now it’s off to the oven for a quick 15 minutes and it’s time to eat.

Once I’ve had my “snack” it’s time to pull those chicken strips out of the oven….glorious! The almonds create the most flavor-packed crunch imaginable.

I’m a ranch girl so I couldn’t help but dip these strips into some ranch. Reece ate his plain. Showoff.

I think the best part about this recipe is that it’s EASY. Second best is that these chicken strips make an awesome lunch, dinner or game day appetizer. Just double or triple the recipe to feed a crowd.
