Crispy Buffalo Chicken Bites

Ingredients:
8 oz. raw boneless skinless chicken breast cut into cubes- should yield 6 oz cooked (1 Leaner Lean)
2 tbsp Frank's Red Hot Sauce (1 Condiment)
1 Bag Medifast Parmesan Cheese Puffs (1 Fueling)
2 tbsp Reduced Fat Grated Parmesan Cheese (1 Condiment)

Optional Dipping Sauce:
2 tbsp Hidden Valley Light Ranch Dressing (1 Healthy Fat)
1/2 tbsp Frank's Red Hot Sauce (1/4 Condiments)

Directions:
Preheat Oven to 350. Finely crush the Parmesan puffs into a bread-crumb consistency - use food processor or just whack the heck out of the (already opened) bag with something heavy. Mix the Parmesan cheese with the processed Parmesan puffs and pour crumb mixture into a plastic Ziploc bag. Set aside.

Cut Chicken Breast into approximately 1 inch cubes/chunks. Combine chicken with 2 tbsp of Frank's Hot Wing Sauce, tossing until combined. Place the coated chicken (let excess sauce drip off chicken before placing in bag) into the Ziploc bag with the crumb mixture and shake the bag, making sure the chicken is completely coated with the crumbs.

Put the crumb coated chicken cubes onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper (etc.) and bake for approximately 25-30 minutes. Cooking time will vary depending on your oven.

Combine ranch dressing and 1/2 tbsp Frank's Hot Wing Sauce and stir until combined. Serve with chicken bites.
