For those football parties you may or not be attending/throwing,  try making this HEALTHY Buffalo Chicken Wings and Blue Cheese Dip recipe  for Superbowl 2013.

Chicken Bites:

Ingredients

5 pieces of chicken breast

1.5 cups bread crumbs (use almond flour with 2tsp of italian seasoning for a gluten free/paleo version)

1 tbsp cayenne pepper

1/2 tsp chili powder

1/4 tsp salt

5 tbsp hot sauce (I used Frank’s)

Preheat oven to 350. Cut the chicken breasts into bite sized nuggets, and set aside. Mix breadcrumbs, cayenne, chili, and salt in a larger bowl and coat chicken pieces in this mixture. Place chicken pieces on a cookie sheet and cook for 15-20 minutes or until fully cooked. I like to turn the chicken over halfway through, through the pieces are small enough to just let cook.

When chicken is done, toss with hot sauce in a large bowl. If you want it to be crispy, you can put the bites back into the oven on high broil for 2-3 minutes. Serve with dip (below).

Meanwhile make the Blue Cheese Dip: Typically, this dip is SO bad for you, alas I have created a super healthy version for your enjoyment.

Blue Cheese Dip:

1 cup cottage cheese

1 6oz cup of plain greek yogurt

3 tbsp blue cheese crumbles (then an additional 3-5 tbsp to use later)

2 tbsp white vinegar

1/2 tsp salt

Use a food processor to blend all ingredients aside from the additional blue cheese. Blend well. Place in a serving bowl and add the additional blue cheese.
