Spicy Baked Chicken Tenders

INGREDIENTS LIST FOR THE BAKED CHICKEN TENDERS

Yield: 4 servings

1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breast tenders

The marinade:

5 garlic cloves, coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons Sriracha
One 1-inch piece ginger, peeled, finely grated
4 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
Juice of 1 lime
1 tablespoon sugar
Fresh cilantro (optional)

DIRECTIONS

1. In a large bowl, combine the ingredients for the marinade until smooth and allow to marinate chicken in this mixture for 1 hour minimum in the refrigerator. When ready to cook, bring chicken at room at room temperature. Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 425°F (200°C).

2. Transfer chicken and a bit of sauce to a baking dish or roasting pan lined with parchment paper. Bake at 425°F (200°C) for 25-30 minutes, basting with marinade from time to time, until cooked through. Meanwhile reduce the remaining marinade a little bit in a saucepan on the stove while chicken is cooking, then drizzle the reduced sauce over cooked chicken and toss before serving. Garnish with cilantro if desired, and serve immediately.

Note: Serve with a crisp salad, roasted vegetables, or white rice. If you want more sauce, simply double the amounts for the marinade.
