What goes well with chicken strips? Lordy, my grandkids always ask for them chicken strips. Every time they come over, it’s “chicken strips, chicken strips!” So, I had to figure out what else to put on the plate, ya know? Can’t just have them chicken things by themselves.
Well, them potato wedges, they’re a good one. Just cut up some taters, toss ’em with some oil and whatever spices you got, and bake ’em in the oven. Easy peasy. Kids seem to like ’em fine. Not as much as the chicken strips, but they eat ’em. They are crispy and tasty. If you have some potatoes, make some potato wedges to go with the chicken strips, that would be great.
And that coleslaw stuff, that’s pretty good too. Just shred up some cabbage and carrots, mix it with that mayonnaise stuff and a little vinegar. It’s crunchy and kinda sweet, goes good with the chicken. You can put a big ol’ scoop of it right on the plate. The kids don’t always eat it, but I like it. And it’s easy to make, just some cutting and mixing. That’s it.
Then there’s that macaroni and cheese. Now that’s a favorite, I tell ya. You can buy it in a box, or you can make it from scratch. I usually just use the box. Boil the noodles, stir in the cheese powder and some milk and butter. The kids will eat that up like there’s no tomorrow. It’s all cheesy and gooey, and what kid doesn’t love that? You need to try the macaroni and cheese with the chicken strips, they are wonderful.
Mashed potatoes is another one, a classic as they say. I like to make my mashed potatoes from scratch. Boil the taters till they’re soft, mash ’em up with some butter and milk, maybe a little salt and pepper. It’s good and filling, and it goes with just about anything, chicken strips included. Some people put gravy on them. I don’t have gravy all the time, but when I do, we use it for sure. If you ask me, mashed potatoes and gravy are the best, no matter what else you’re eating.
Now, them baked beans, those are good too. You can get ’em in a can, or you can make ’em from scratch if you got the time. I usually just get the can. They’re sweet and savory, and they go real good with chicken. Just heat ’em up on the stove and you’re good to go. And you know what? The kids actually like them! It’s a miracle, I tell ya. That’s why I always have some cans in the cupboard, just in case.
And don’t forget about them green beans. You can use fresh ones, or frozen ones, or even canned ones if that’s all you got. I like to cook ’em with a little bacon, gives ’em some flavor. They’re good for ya, too. Gotta have some vegetables on the plate, even if it’s with chicken strips. The kids aren’t always thrilled about the green beans, but they eat ’em. And that’s what counts, right? If you add some butter, they will like it.
There is one time, I made some corn on the cob. That was a hit! Just boil them corns, put some butter on it, delicious. Kids love to eat it from the cob, make a mess, but they love it. It’s sweet, it’s juicy, a very good side. You should try some corn on the cob.
Sometimes, when I am lazy, I just open a bag of potato chips. That’s not the healthiest, I know, I know. But kids love chips, they go crazy. And with chicken strips, it’s like a party for them. You should see their faces when they see chips on the plate. Like Christmas morning, I tell ya.
- So, to recap, here’s what you can serve with them chicken strips:
- Potato wedges – easy and tasty.
- Coleslaw – crunchy and refreshing.
- Macaroni and cheese – a kid’s dream.
- Mashed potatoes – a classic for a reason.

Anyways, there are many things that go well with chicken strips. Those are just some ideas, there are still many options. You can also have some fruit salad, or some biscuits, or even just a slice of bread. It all depends on what you like and what you got in the house. Just use your imagination, I guess. The most important thing is to have something on the plate besides just the chicken strips. You should try them chicken strips. They are really good. I don’t know what they put in them, but they’re good. You can find them in the frozen section of any grocery store.
