  • ¼ cup crumbled blue cheese

  • 4 ounces of softened cream cheese
  • 2/3 cup bread crumbs

Directions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and lightly mist a baking sheet with cooking spray.
  2. Fill a large pot with water and bring to a boil, then boil the chicken breasts uncovered for about 20 minutes until cooked through.
  3. When chicken breasts are cooked, drain the water and shred the chicken using two forks.
  4. In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken with the wing sauce, cheddar cheese, blue cheese, scallions and cream cheese. Stir until thoroughly mixed.

  6. Pour the breadcrumbs into a shallow bowl, then gently roll each chicken bite one at a time in the crumbs until it’s covered. Transfer each breaded bite onto the baking sheet when covered.
  7. When all of the chicken bites have been breaded, mist them lightly with cooking spray and bake for 20-25 minutes.
  8. Remove from oven, cool and decorate!
