Buffalo Chicken Fingers


So, deep dark confession....buffalo chicken fingers are one of those super greasy diner foods I can't resist when I'm at Claim Jumpers or Ruby's. It's a problem, people! But the WW website has a great recipe for them. Kenny and I (okay, Kenny) has made them twice and we really like them. It's an easy recipe, too.

Ingredients:
1 spray of cooking spray
1 1/4 pounds of boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 16 strips
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. paprika
1 tsp. minced garlic
2 tbsp fat-free margarine
4 tsp hot pepper sauce (we used Frank's Red Hot--yummy!)
1/2 cup fat-free blue cheese dressing (the Wishbone one is good!)

Instructions:
Coat a large non-stick skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium high heat.

Place chicken on a plate and sprinkle with salt and paprika. Add chicken to skillet and cook, turning occasionally until lightly browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Add garlic, reduce to low, stir and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

Remove skillet from heat, stir in margarine and hot sauce until margarine melts. Serve chicken with dressing and celery on the side. Yields about 4 pieces of chicken and 2 tbsp of dressing per serving.

And it's only 4 points!
