Pico de Gallo Crispy Chicken Strips

When I received a bag of new Lay’s pico de gallo flavored potato chips as a Klout perk last week I knew the bag wouldn’t last long at our house. Although they were tasty I wasn’t planning to sit on the couch with a bag of chips until they were gone; I had big plans for a new dinner recipe with the chips. The pico de gallo chips added a great crisp and flavor to homemade chicken strips. Pico de gallo crispy chicken strips make a great family dinner or would be perfect served while you watch the big game!
