This quick and easy grilled chicken tenders recipe is taken from plain to phenomenal with the addition of an addictive chipotle lime yogurt. Thank you to Green Valley Organics and Redwood Hill Farms for helping me to share this recipe with you.

When you start dreaming up entrées just so you can have an excuse to eat a certain sauce, you know you’ve hit the jackpot. It would seem strange if I just starting spooning this chipotle lime yogurt straight into my mouth, right? That goes right along with my tendency to eat an entire wedge of Brie in one sitting.

Maybe those are things that I need to save for my treasured “alone” moments.

My husband and I used to buy a fantastic bottled chipotle sauce that we found at our favorite specialty store. We squirted it on everything from eggs to roasted potatoes to sandwich wraps. And then it disappeared from the shelves and we were more upset than any adult should be over a condiment.

Clearly we have issues.

So, when my friends at Green Valley Organics and Redwood Hill Farms challenged me to make my own yogurt flavor, it was a no-brainer.

What if I could whip up a sauce in my own kitchen that rivaled our beloved store-bought chipotle sauce? Well, that would be pretty darn awesome.

I set to work with the plain Green Valley Organics yogurt and it didn’t take long to come up with something good…okay, great. I stuck my finger in the bowl for “taste testing” purposes so many times that I needed to stage a personal intervention.

It was lunchtime and there were chicken tenders in the fridge, so I mixed the chicken into an easy spice marinade and gave it a turn on the grill. Chicken tenders are fantastic for quick meals before they cook on the grill in 5 minutes or less.

But for all things good and right in this world, please do not limit this flavored yogurt to chicken. Serve it with fish, steak, pork and potatoes. Dollop it on sandwiches or use it in a layered salad. (Eat it with a spoon…ahem.)
