Buffalo Chicken Bites

Recipe Image

If buffalo wings make your knees grow weak, try this spicy version. These bites have the same feisty flavor, but they aren't laden with saturated fat. Napkins are a must!

Preparation facts

Cooking Time: 15 minutes

Prep Time: 25 minutes

Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Blue Cheese Dressing

3 Tbs (1 1/4 ounces) crumbled blue cheese

1/3 cup reduced-fat sour cream

2 tsp finely chopped green onion

1/2 tsp white wine vinegar

Chicken Bites

2 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves

(10 ounces), cut into 1" cubes

1 scallion, finely chopped

2 1/2 Tbs mild cayenne pepper sauce

1 Tbs butter, melted

3 ribs celery, cut into 2" sticks

1 cup baby carrots

Directions

Blue Cheese Dressing

In a small bowl, mash together the blue cheese and sour cream with the back of a spoon. Stir in the green onion and vinegar until blended. Set aside.

Chicken Bites

Preheat the oven to 400°F. In a medium bowl, toss together the chicken cubes, scallion, and 1 tablespoon of the pepper sauce. Thread the chicken on twelve 6" bamboo skewers, using 2 pieces of chicken per skewer. Arrange on a foil-lined baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes, or until cooked through.

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, toss together the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons pepper sauce and the butter. Arrange the cooked chicken skewers on one half of a serving platter in a single layer. Brush the chicken cubes with the pepper sauce. Place the celery and carrots on the platter and serve with the blue cheese dressing.
