One of my favorite dinner recipes :)

Yes, I'm talking 'diet food.' Try it for dinner tomorrow- promise you will like it or your money back. :)

Make this first: Ranch Dressing
Ingredients: 1 16 oz. container of Fat Free Cottage Cheese (stick with me on this, k?)
1 pkg. dry Ranch Dressing
H2O as needed
Directions: Put the cottage cheese in the food processor and puree until all the chunks are gone. Add the package of ranch dressing and start it up again. Add water as needed to make it salad dressing consistency. Dip veggies in- promise you won't be able to tell it's cottage cheese!

Then make this: Buffalo Chicken Bites (or strips)
Ingredients: Box of Melba Toasts
Chicken Breasts- how many you want- 2, 3, 4- whatever.
1 Egg
Spices
Frank's Hot Wing Sauce
Apple Cider Vinegar
Dijonaise (or grainy mustard if you prefer)
Directions: Preheat oven to 425. First take the melba toasts and put in the food processor. Puree until it resembles bread crumbs. Put them in a gallon Ziploc bag and add some spices to it that you like- I put garlic, chili powder, cumin, cayenne, red pepper flakes, paprika. Set aside. Then cut up your chicken- either in bite sizes or strips. Flavor with the spices you used for the melba toasts. (keep the spices out- we'll use them in a minute!) Get a bowl out and crack one egg in it. Add a Tablespoon of water and beat with a fork. Sprinkle some of the spices in there (yep, the ones you used for the chicken and the melba toasts). Add a pinch of the Frank's Hot Sauce. Stir the egg mixture. Then get a cookie sheet out and spray down with a cooking spray. Take 1/2 the chicken and put in the egg mixture. Then drop in the ziploc bag, seal, and shake. When they are coated, put them on the cookie sheet. Repeat with the rest of the chicken. Bake for 20 mins (for the bite-sized ones), 25 (for the strips). While they are baking- get another bowl out and put some of the Frank's Hot Wing Sauce in the bowl (I say some, but it's somewhere between 1/4 and 1/2 c. You can always add more later). Add a splash of the apple cider vinegar and about a tablespoon of the Dijonaise. If you want to, you can also add some spices in this sauce too- the same ones you used above. (We're flavoring at every level, so it will be amazing!) When the chicken comes out, roll them in the sauce (careful- they are HOT!) and put them back on the cookie sheet. Stick them back in the oven for 5 mins. Take then out and enjoy with your Ranch Dressing, celery, and any other veggies you like.

Make it Kid-Friendly- omit all the hot spices and the sauce. Bread as normal and bake as directed. Taste just like chicken nuggets (but without all the preservatives!)

If you make them, let me know how you liked them!
