Buffalo Chicken Sliders

My husband has become a lover of all things hot! So, I decided to make slides with the leftover skinless boneless chicken breasts. Here is what I created...

Buffalo Chicken Sliders

2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1T butter
1/3 c hot sauce (I used Franks)
Bread
Romaine lettuce
Spreads

1. I pounded down the chicken breasts and then grill. Once cooked through, allow to cool just a bit and chop up.
2. Microwave the butter for a few seconds until melted, then combine with hot sauce and cover chicken.
3. Cut open bread. Fill with chicken, sauce and lettuce.

Sauce:

Ranch spread: 2T ranch dressing and 2T cream cheese (cooking creme)

Blue Cheese Spread: 2T Sour cream, 1T blue cheese, 1t vinegar

Crunchy Buffulo Chicken Bites

My hubbie LOVE buffalo chicken wings, but I am not a big fan of chicken wings. So, I came up with this alternative!

Crunchy Buffalo Chicken Bites
1-2 Breasts of chicken, cut into 1-2" pieces
2 eggs
1T hot sauce
1 c flour
1.5 c corn flakes, crushed
Kebob sticks

1. Once chicken is cut into pieces, thread onto kebob sticks.
2. Dredge sticks in flour.
3. Coat in beaten eggs and hot sauce.
4. Roll in cruched corn flakes.
5. Fry in a pan with 2-3T oil. (I fryed at 340 degrees until golden brown on all sides).

Serve with ranch/blue cheese and celery!! Yummy!

Cranberry Mango Chutney

I have 1 mango left from last weeks trip to the farmer's market last weekend and a 1/2 of a bag of cranberries. I need to use them up before they go bad, so, I was trying to figure out what to do with them. Then, I noticed my jar of raspberry chutney was almost gone...cha-ching! Cranberry Mango Chutney!!! I am hoping that I will have enough to make 2 jars. I would love to include a jar in a holiday gift basket I am making for my family. It would make an amazing appetizer!

Cranberry Mango Chutney

1/2 bag of cranberries

1 medium mango, peeled and diced
1/2 c sugar
2 T cider vinegar
1 t pumpkin pie spice
1/4 t salt
1/2 t ginger (optional)
1/8 t crushed red pepper flakes
1T diced Jalapenos (optional)

1. Put everything in a saucepan and bring to a hard boil. Then reduce heat to a simmer for 20-25 minutes. (Wait for cranberries to pop which will allow the sauce to thicken)
2. Pour into sterilized jars and seal.


Curious how to easily sterilize your jars without buying a ton of canning equipment...
1. Wash all the parts in soapy water.
2. In a small pot of water, boil lids. Keep boiling until ready to use.
3. Please jars on a cookie sheet and place in a 225 degree oven for 10 minutes. Then, turn off heat and leave in warm oven until ready to use.
