Lay's Crispy Chicken Tenders
"I created this recipe for a contest at my husband's work. It comes out very crispy and is an interesting change to the regular chicken tender breading. We love it. We're also soy and dairy free so the recipe includes coconut milk instead of regular milk--I think the coconut milk gives it a very nice flavor. Enjoy!"

Definitely not something I'd want to make often (because of the saturated fat & cholesterol levels), BUT these chicken strips have such a wonderful taste that, once in a while would be great! I particularly liked the hint of coconut & with a mild salsa on the side, these were great! I look forward to including these on my finger food counter sometime when I host one of several monthly gatherings! Thanks for sharing the recipe!

I have become very good at cooking without dairy or soy. My daughter is severely allergic to dairy so we've gone completely dairy free in our home and still manage to cook some amazing food.
I have learned to appreciate food more as a result of these allergies and am probably a better cook because of it!
