What is the Aldi Blue Bag Chicken?

How to Cook Aldi Blue Bag Chicken

What is nice about the orange bag chicken is that it is fully cooked. You don’t really need to cook this chicken, just reheat it. Aldi fans have several different options for that:

Aldi Blue Bag Chicken Microwave Instructions:

Just put a few buffalo-style chicken strips on a microwave-safe plate, cover them with a damp paper towel, and cook on high heat for about 30 seconds per strip. If you like your crispy breading, I would skip this option as I find it gets a little soft.

Aldi Blue Bag Chicken Oven Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Place the pieces of chicken on a baking sheet and then bake for 18-20 minutes, until they are fully heated through.

Aldi Blue Bag Crispy Chicken Tacos Ingredients

• Aldi Blue Bag Crispy Chicken Strips – this may seem like a no-brainer, but one bag can go a long way while making a batch of these tacos.
• If you like soft-shelled tacos, then flour or corn tortillas – this is really your preference. Flour tortillas seem to hold up better than corn ones if you are making them in advance. Hard-shelled would work well too.
• Shredded lettuce – this adds both color and texture. 
• Diced tomatoes – we prefer Roma as they are less watery.
• Shredded cheese – we use Monterey Jacke, but you could even use a Mexican blend.
• Avocado sour cream – we share our recipe for this and it really makes the difference in the final product. It only uses one avocado!
• Chopped cilantro – skip this if you are one of those people who think it tastes like soap.
• Salsa, for serving or your favorite hot sauce.

How to Make Avocado Sour Cream

You will need:

• 1 avocado, mashed
• ½ cup sour cream
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon dry minced onion
• Chopped cilantro
• Salt & pepper to taste
• Dash of lemon juice

Mix them all together in a medium-sized bowl, until all ingredients are combined. Set this aside for a bit.

How to make Aldi Blue Bag Crispy Chicken Tacos

First of all, decided if you want soft shell or hard shell tacos. Softshells are easy to keep on hand and last a long time in the fridge. If you prefer hard shells, and can’t find them at your local store? They are super easy to make!

Bake your tortillas on a rack (as shown) at 375 for about 10 minutes – this works for both flour tortillas and corn.

Bake crispy chicken strips per package directions or use the tips from above.

To assemble the tacos layer ingredients as follows: lettuce, tomato,

How to get the pit out of an avocado

Use a knife to score the avocado all the way around, being careful not to cut into the pit. Next, twist the two halves in opposite directions and they should come apart easily. To remove the pit, use a spoon to scoop it out or give it a whack with your knife so it sticks to the blade. Then, you can score the avocado with that knife, or simply use a spoon to scoop it out.
