Dinnertime with CAULIPOWER Chicken Tenders

This post is sponsored by CAULIPOWER but the content and opinions expressed here are my own.

I don’t know about you but I’ve found that dinnertime with a toddler isn’t always the easiest thing.  J is a bit of a picky eater but he can always be counted on to eat three things.  He loves chicken, pasta, and fruit.  The only problem is that while he happily eats these things I have a hard time getting him to eat vegetables.

That’s where CAULIPOWER Chicken Tenders come in.  CAULIPOWER Chicken Tenders have a coating this packed with cauliflower and other gluten-free goodness!   That means J can get a bit of veggies in with his chicken and he will never know the difference!  Plus, our family can eat the entire bag for a total of only 490 calories.  That’s crazy enough to have you saying no cluckin’ way!

I found these chicken tenders in the freezer aisle at my local Walmart store.  They were in the frozen organic section.  As I was reading the ingredients I was impressed that they are made with premium chicken that are all-natural, raised with no antibiotics ever, and cage-free.  In addition to being made with delicious chicken they have 86% less fat than any other chicken tender or nugget. 

There were two different types of CAULIPOWER Chicken Tenders so I bought a bag of each to try.  They come in Original and Spicy.  I was surprised to find that these are the only BAKED (not fried) chicken tender in the freezer aisle.  I couldn’t wait to get home to try them. 

Once I got home I put half a bag of original and half a bag of spicy on a baking sheet and popped them in the oven.  They take about 15 minutes to cook so I was able to baked french fries along with them and have everything done at the same time.  I was anxious to see if my son would eat them.

The CAULIPOWER Chicken Tenders ended up being tasty, juicy, and baked to crispy golden perfection.  I served them with ranch and BBQ dipping sauce.  My husband and I tried the spicy ones first.  I find that many mass produced products that say they are spicy really aren’t but these chicken tenders are an exception.   My husband and I were both surprised by how spicy they were but we both really liked them.  In fact, my husband asked to see the bag so he could share them with a friend of his that is gluten free.

The real test came when I put the chicken in front of my toddler.   He looked at the chicken, picked it up, and turned it in his hands.  After a minute he tasted it and then popped a bite into his mouth.  A moment later he put in another piece and we called this a big success.  My entire family enjoyed the CAULIPOWER Chicken Tenders and I’m sure we’ll be buying them again soon!
