Crispy Chicken Tacos

It might be a new year but we're still asking the same old question - what's for dinner? And, since we're still stuffed with Christmas cookies and cheese, can we make whatever the dinner is kind of light? Yup. I've got this.

Perdue Farms, a 100 year old brand I've always trusted for chicken, now has direct-to-consumer, curated boxes filled with a wide variety of options including turkey, beef, pork and lamb. The box I received was the medium organic bundle and, yes, for the past 10 years, Perdue has become the #1 U.S. supplier of organic chicken. This selection ticked all the boxes for products I use including a whole chicken, boneless, skinless breasts, drumsticks, lightly breaded organic chunks and (free with a first order) pre-cut tenders. Where to begin?

I can be damn picky about pre-breaded chicken but I can honestly say this is a winner. Just the right amount of breading and great flavor. And you know the best part? Ready in just a few minutes with options for oven, toaster, microwave or air fryer. Yes, please.

My first dinner cooked from my curated box was a spin on chicken tacos using the breaded chicken which I cooked and sliced. Tortillas would be great here but I adore fluffy naan bread so that's what I used. I chose spicy, mixed bitter greens and balanced it with a creamy, lemony dressing that had a touch of sweet honey. It was so good and it'll be on repeat around here.

Perdue Farms now includes a full line of premium brands including Niman Ranch, Coleman Natural, Perdue Chicken, Perdue Harvestland, Panorama Meats, Spot Farms, Full Moon and more. These boxes are a great way for them to introduce people to their lines and the pasture raised, grass fed, antibiotic free and non GMO products. They work directly with small family farmers to raise animals with care.

Want to try the direct to consumer bundles for yourself? Head over to the Perdue Farms website and remember that you'll receive a free box of the Perdue Harvestland Diced Chicken Breasts with your first order. Plus an additional 10% off with the promo code Farmer10.
