I am on one of those quick and easy cooking stages.  I go from having lots of time to play in the kitchen, to just enough time to make something edible for the family, yet, appetizing enough to blog about.  Today, my simple, and I mean simple, Orange Cilantro Chicken Tenders is exactly what I am referring to.

In less than 20 minutes time, I created an edible and blog worthy chicken dinner.

I quickly scan the pantry and fridge and pick out a few items and BAM!  Chicken dinner is served.

I try to be resourceful and utilize what I have so I don’t waste it.

So, nothing special here, just what I have on hand.  If you don’t like cilantro, you can use, chives, or Italian or flat leaf parsley and it will be just fine.  You just can’t call it Cilantro Chicken if you don’t use cilantro.Oh-kay!

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!
