I have been super thrilled to add new contributors to Ajpal, and I’ve been working on one very special contributor to join the team for a while.

You’ve seen his recipes here a few times, and might have even caught a glimpse of his face…. but I’m SO SO SO excited to announce my husband Luke is going to be adding recipes to the site more frequently!

Luke is a fantastic cook. He is masterful when it comes to meats, veggies, and all sorts of ethnic dishes- but like many men, his best work is done on the grill.

Today Luke’s sharing his deliciously juicy, tender, and super flavorful grilled chicken strips recipe with us – you’ll love this easy method to make salad-ready chicken strips that make a fabulous cold lunch!

I love delicious, fresh salads for lunch – and salads I can eat cold are the best.

This simple technique for making juicy, flavorful, never-dry grilled chicken strips is my favorite easy meal- I grill up a big batch on Sunday, and bring them to work with some lettuce, tomatoes, cheese and dressing for a quick, protein-packed, but healthy lunch that doesn’t need to be microwaved.

These chicken strips are so easy – simply marinate for about a day before grilling to ensure the most delicious, flavorful, and never-dry meat.

  • Serves 6
  • Prep 5 minutes
  • Cook 15 minutes

  • 2 lb chicken (sliced into thin strips)

  3. 3

    Gently squeeze the air out of the bag.
