Categories     Chicken

Time 30m

Yield 20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
16 ounces cream cheese (light is fine, but not fat free)
1 (12 ounce) bottle blue cheese dressing
1/2-3/4 cup hot sauce
8 ounces sharp cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Boil in a large sauce pan enough water to cook the chicken breasts.
  • Then, boil the chicken until its cooked through, about 15 minutes.
  • Remove the chicken, pat dry, and shred with a fork.
  • Then place the shredded chicken in a large baking dish.
  • For a tailgate, I usually use 2 of those disposable 8 by 8 aluminum pans, or one large lasagna-size one.
  • Pour your desired amount of hot sauce over the chicken, and season with salt and pepper if desired.
  • Set this dish in the refrigerator to let the chicken absorb the flavor.
  • Preheat your oven to 350.
  • Next, over medium heat in a large pan, melt the cream cheese.
  • Pour in the blue cheese dressing and stir until they are completely combined.
  • Pour this mixture over the chicken.
  • Bake for 10 minutes.
  • Remove, but don't turn the oven off.
  • Sprinkle the cheddar cheese evenly over the top and return to the oven for another 10-15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and starting to brown just a little.
  • Serve hot or cold with chips!

LOW FAT BUFFALO CHICKEN TENDERS W/ BLUE CHEESE DIP



Low Fat Buffalo Chicken Tenders W/ Blue Cheese Dip image

Using the lean chicken tender reduced the amuont of fat, as does baking the chicken instead of frying. The blue cheese dip is lower in fat and calories, so this is guilt free snacking! Taken from the Heart Healthy cookbook. Note: prep time includes marinate/refrigeration time. Note: After making these many times, I have found that it is much easier to cook them on the George Foreman after marinading. I'm sure pan frying would work as well. Experiment and enjoy!
