    Lite Spicy Chicken Strips


    Source of Recipe


    Daily Recipe

    List of Ingredients




    1 teaspoon vegetable oil
    1/2 pound skinless boneless chicken breasts,
    (cut crosswise into 1/4-inch strips)
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    2 teaspoons butter
    1 tablespoon liquid hot pepper sauce
    5 celery stalks, cut into 3-inch sticks

    Blue Cheese Dip Ingredients
    2/3 cup nonfat plain yogurt
    2 tablespoons reduced-fat mayonnaise
    2 ounces crumbled blue cheese
    3 tablespoons finely chopped scallions
    1/4 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper

    Recipe



    In a small bowl, whisk together the yogurt, mayonnaise and
    blue cheese. Stir in the scallions and pepper and set aside
    while preparing the chicken. Cover and refrigerate. (This
    recipe can be made one day ahead to this point.) Heat the
    oil in a large, preferably nonstick skillet. Season the
    chicken with the salt.

    Cook the chicken over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until lightly browned and cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat.

    Add the butter and hot pepper sauce to the pan and swirl until the butter melts and the sauce coats the chicken. Serve the chicken and celery sticks along with the blue cheese dip.

    Provide toothpicks for spearing the chicken and dipping it
    in the sauce.

    Makes 6 servings.
