These are amazing. They were on our weekly rotation for a while, now we swap them with beef tacos every other week.

I like to get perdu chicken and bread it myself so I can season it how we like. Any crescent rolls work but wrapping each tender in 2 rolls is the best. I serve mine with mac n cheese and French green beans

I've added a little extra to our tacos to make them last longer: Mexican rice, corn, salsa, home made tortillas, sour cream, grilled onions, tomatoes, lettuce, and my favorite Doritos. Everyone gets custom tacos.

Another great winter time dinner to warm little bodies before bed time. Its a small twist on Olive Gardens Chicken and gnocchi. You can still add shredded chicken to make it stretch a little.
