  • Great idea..
    Here's my version of the LAWL approved spicy chicken strips.. I don't have exact measurments in front of me, but you'll get the idea..

    Buffalo Chicken Strips

    1 doz skinless, unbreaded chicken tenders (cut if half if you desire)

    2 tbs. of smart balance or other lite butter alternative.
    1/4 tsp. paprika (smoked if you have it)
    1/4 tsp.chile powder (salt free)
    1/4 tsp. onion powder
    1/4 tsp. garlic powder (not garlic salt!)

    buffalo style hot sauce to taste.
    morton's lite salt or other potassium based salt alternative.

    Put spice powders (but not the salt) in a shaker for improved coating.

    Melt smart balance and place liquid in a large bowl. place tenders in bowl and mix until all are coated. drain any excess liquid. Coat tenders with a small amount of buffalo sauce (Frank's Red Hot is tasty) and (on a cookie sheet)place into an oven, pre-heated to 350.

    Use Reynolds "Release" foil to prevent them from sticking!

    Cooking times will vary due to altitude and size of chicken tenders (which is a lazy way of saying I'm not sure how long to cook them!)

    Once the tenders are done, place in a clean bowl and coat with sauce to taste, or serve with small dishes of sauce and FF Ranch on the side.

    Ingredients
    1 sheet Refrigerated pie pastry
    1 cup Water
    1 pkg (0.8 oz) sugar-free cook-and-serve vanilla pudding mix
    1 pkg (0.3 oz) sugar-free lemon gelatin
    1 pkg (8 oz) fat-free cream cheese, cubed

    Directions
    1. On a lightly floured surface, roll out pastry to a 12-in. circle. Transfer to a 14-inch pizza pan; prick with a fork. Bake at 450 for 6-8 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack.

    2. In a saucepan, combine the water and pudding mix until smooth. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Whisk in gelatin; cook and stir 1 minute longer or until thickened. Remove from the heat and let cool.

    3. In a small mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar substitute until smooth; fold in whipped topping. Spread cream cheese mixture over crust to within 1/2 inch of edges.
