Tomato Basil Cashew Chicken Tenders

Oh, and can we talk about snacks? My boys are 3 and 5, and all day long, they want snacks. I didn’t expect it to be this hard feeding them meals, providing them with all the snacks, and trying to keep it all relatively healthy.

I’m telling you this because if you are struggling to come up with easy meal ideas, you are not alone. I am too!

But what has helped me is to keep all meals simple, meaning few ingredients, and to think outside of the box to keep things interesting.

One thing my boys love, besides mac n’ cheese and pizza, is chicken fingers. I make them all the time! I have a “famous” cashew crusted chicken thighs recipe on my blog that is truly our go-to.

But remember, kids get bored with the same old, same old too.

So when I had the opportunity to partner with Harvest Snaps, one thought popped in my head—I AM GOING TO USE THEM TO MAKE CHICKEN FINGERS. They have been a family favorite snack in our household for so long, I can’t believe it didn’t cross my mind until now to use them to make chicken fingers.

Well, I did it! I took a package of their yummy Tomato Basil Harvest Snaps, crushed them up, and created this recipe. The boys flipped and licked their plates, and I scored some major brownie points with the hubs.

I paired them with a balsamic vinaigrette dressing to dip in, and some steamed broccoli on the side, for a well balanced meal.

I am so excited to share this Better For You recipe with you, featuring Tomato Basil Harvest Snaps, made with RED LENTILS as the first ingredient.
