Chicken Fingers with Spicy Avocado Sauce

Can you believe that I didn't like avocado until the age of 23?! Yeah, I can hardly believe it either! What was I thinking?! The green color of it used to turn me off. And everytime I tried guac I thought it tasted like nothing, and I didn't like the consistency. Thank goodness that taste buds change as we age, because otherwise I would have missed out on some good stuff. I think Chipotle was the place to change my mind about guac. Their's is the best.
So now I LOVE guac and all things avocado! The thing is, I haven't made many things avocado-related besides that yummy corn, avocado, and tomato salad (speaking of.... we sure haven't made that in awhile... it just may show up on a menu plan soon!). I knew we had to make this chicken recipe with an avocado dipping sauce! We weren't disappointed, and I knew we wouldn't be : )

Chicken fingers:

Spicy Avocado Sauce:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray.

Combine the bread crumbs and all of the seasonings for the chicken fingers in a shallow dish. Mix well. Dip the chicken strips in to coat evenly, and tap off excess. Lay the chicken strips on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Spray the tops with cooking spray. Cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 20 minutes.
