So you have people coming over for a game, or some sort of shindig where snacks and fatty foods are expected, but you want to watch your figure, what do you do? Trick people into eating heathy snacks.
For the first in my series of non-healthy to healthy recipes I’m going to tell you how to make a good alternative to buffalo wings.
What you need:
- boneless chicken breast
- fiber one cereal
- franks red hot buffalo sauce
- poultry seasoning
- eggbeaters
- skim milk
- lite or fate free blue cheese dressing (optional)
- carrots and/or celery (optional)
Prepare:
Cut the chicken into strips, dunk into a mixture of eggbeaters and skim milk.
take some fiber one cereal and put it into a belnder alone, turn the blender on until the cereal is a powder, breadcrumb like texture. Put crushed fiber one into a plastic bag, sprinkle in some poultry seasoning in the fiber one and mix it up.
place moistened chicken into bag and shake up, remove and place on a baking sheet
Cook:
bake on 350 for 15-20 minutes or until center of chicken is cooked. (varies depending on size of chicken pieces
Finishing:
put cooked chicken into a bowl and pout franks red hot sauce on it. Mix it up till all of the chicken is coated in the sauce
put chicken on a tray with celery and/or carrots for presentation and serve with lite/low fat blue cheese (or ranch) dressing. (I suggest avoiding the Walden Farms 0 calorie blue cheese dressing as it tastes awful, but their ranch is good)
PS: I didn’t enter quantities as this recipe can be made for 1-100 people, how ever many as you need, simply buy the right amount of chicken per person and adjust each measurement accordingly, I normally cook by eye.
TIPS:
- Don’t tell anyone how you made the wings till after they eat it if ever. People will make up their minds they don’t like something if they know its good for them
- 1/2 cup of fiber one cereal uncrushed per ever 2 chicken breast should coat well
- Add lots of carrots/celery to the presentation so you can alternate as you snack between vegies and chicken, helps with the snacky feeling that comes during get togethers.
You could have some of both healthy and fatty snacks.
