I got this from my South Beach Diet Newsletter, Daily Dish. This is a traditional game-watching favorite to help you stick to your healthy eating plan. These Buffalo Chicken Bites can be prepared ahead of time, so you won’t have to miss a touchdown — or a good commercial! Super yummy and healthy. Enjoy Ingredients:
3 tablespoons trans-fat-free margarine |
2 tablespoons hot pepper sauce (to taste) |
1 teaspoon canola oil |
3 chicken breasts, boneless, skinless, cut into 24 (1-inch) |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/8 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper |
3 celery ribs, cut into 24 (1-inch) |
blue cheese dipping sauce (see directions below) |
2 tablespoons blue cheese, crumbled |
1/4 cup reduced-fat sour cream |
2 tablespoons mayonnaise |
1 teaspoon fresh lime juice |
1 teaspoon red wine vinegar |
hot pepper sauce |
Directions:
1. Melt margarine in a medium nonstick saucepan. Whisk in hot pepper sauce and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, or until slightly thickened; set aside.
2. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper, add to pan, and cook, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides, about 6 minutes. Add margarine mixture to pan and gently toss chicken until well coated, 1 to 2 minutes.
3. Remove chicken from pan and skewer each cube with a toothpick. Skewer 1 piece of celery at the base of each. Arrange on a platter and serve with dip.
4. Blue Cheese Dipping Sauce.
5. Mash blue cheese in a medium bowl, leaving some small lumps. Whisk in the sour cream, mayonnaise, lime juice, vinegar, and hot pepper sauce to taste. Transfer to a small bowl and serve with the chicken.
