Quick Fix: Tyson Crispy Chicken Strips and a recipe for Zesty Chili Dipping Sauce

As a busy mom of 3 boys, I am always looking for quick fix meals.

As part of a sponsored post for Collective Bias,

I created this easy chicken strip meal with a 2 ingredient dipping sauce.

I am not a great cook. I am not terrible one, and once in a while I can hit a home run with a random meal. But, I get tired of coming up with new ideas for meals that my boys will like. They are all good eaters, but I want them to really enjoy mealtimes. This recipe with products from Sam's Club really fit the bill.

And, I really dislike meal planning. I know it is the best thing to do and makes your shopping and meal prep so much easier, but I still don't like it. Ick.

He eats more and more!

We are a very routine oriented family, but it can take us a while to fall back into the swing of things once school starts, and time seems to slip away quickly in the evening. So, any corners that I can cut are a good thing.

The youngest may get a shower instead of a bath
(and, let me tell you sometimes I feel that he needs to soak!).

I may skip a workout. (That happens often.)

The hubs may tuck in Little, so I can workout. (Not often.)

And, sometimes, the kitchen may not be cleaned right away.

You see how it is. Cutting corners can be a good thing when you are trying to fit it all in.

So, I love it when I have a super easy meal to prepare. And, Tyson Chicken can really speed up the meal prep process, and that is always good on a busy school night.

My hubby and I can make a date out of anything, including a trip to Sam's Club, and it was on one of those trips that I snagged some Tyson Crispy Chicken Strips and Tones Chili Powder. I love the bulk sizes of the seasonings and they have a huge selection. I rarely have to worry about running out.

After the trip to Sam's Club I had everything I needed for my Monday night meal.

Simplest meal ever. Period. End of story.

Seriously.

I popped the Tyson Crispy Chicken Strips in the oven then prepared my dipping sauce.

2 step Zesty Chili Dipping Sauce

The Tones Zesty Chili Dipping Sauce is 1 cup of Sour Cream and 1 teaspoon of Tones Chili Powder.

That's it! Easy and delicious.

We were done with supper and ready to get on with everything else that a busy family has to do on a school night. With our oldest in high school now, that means hours of homework every single night. But, he had the energy to get it done after a good meal.

Okay, okay. I know you want to see one more pic of our plates up close:
