This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Tyson Foods, Inc. All opinions are entirely my own.
Last May, when my boyfriend and I moved in together, I gained two new roommates: my boyfriend and his three year old daughter. And while not much has changed in our kitchen since the move {she’s less picky than we are!}, there have been a few noticeable differences.
The most obvious difference is the need to accommodate all three of our taste buds. Daily, I could eat salmon and broccoli, my boyfriend could eat tacos, and the little one could eat pea mac and cheese. And because it’s super easy to get burned out on each other’s preferences, we have our go-to meet-in-the-middle dishes: spaghetti, pizza, and chicken.
Now that I’m responsible for purchasing groceries for a tiny, growing human, I am extra concerned about what types of products I bring home. While grocery shopping at H-E-B, I shop mostly around the grocery store perimeter, buying largely from the produce department and butcher department. But, like everyone, I don’t always have time to cook a meal from scratch. And that is where freezer items come in extra handy.
Knowing that Tyson® crispy chicken strips and Tyson chicken nuggets are made from 100% natural* ingredients (*no artificial ingredients, minimally processed) and no antibiotics ever makes them a super easy choice for busy nights. When paired with a frozen green veggie and some homemade sauces, it’s a guaranteed agreed upon meal.
It’s also worth noting how frequently I’ve seen “no added XYZ” on other product packaging lately. That type of messaging is confusing and leads me to believe the brand is trying to skirt around certain ingredients. With that said, I REALLY appreciate that Tyson chicken has clear “NO ANTIOBIOTICS EVER” messaging on specially marked product packaging. In addition to Tyson crispy chicken strips, Tyson also makes nuggets, Any’tizers® snacks, and drumsticks that are raised with no antibiotics ever and made with 100% all natural ingredients. Please check for specially marked packages indicating 100% all natural ingredients and no antibiotics ever.
And since Tyson crispy chicken trips are made with 100% natural* ingredients and no antibiotics ever, it only makes sense to pair them with sauces that are also free from artificial ingredients. The little one loves barbeque, my boyfriend loves sweet and sour, and I love honey mustard. I already have a go-to homemade cherry barbeque sauce and honey mustard sauce recipes, but I wanted to develop a sweet and sour sauce that was made with real fruit {not juice} and had a super small ingredient list. We were all incredibly pleased with the sweet and sour sauce recipe below and I can’t wait to add it to our regular line up of Tyson chicken strip sauces!
