Here at Tuesday's with Dinah & Ma we try to bring you fun dishes (mostly) that will break you out of your food comfort zone. So this week's recipe is no exception. Usually I'm the one who breaks the food rules and comes up with these crazy recipe dishes but recently Ma has been dipping into the outrageous recipes. As with tonight's dish. One from our fave healthy chick Hungry Girl. She's whipped up a dish that has chicken, potato chips, Funyuns, and they are on a stick! Yes, I said they come on a stick. Not gonna lie my inner 8 year old self is kinda jazzed. Who doesn't love cute food that comes on a stick? Exactly, I'm not alone here on this.
Here's what you'll need:
Good Chick Lollipops
Ingredients:
*12 oz. raw skinless boneless lean chicken breast, evenly cut into six strips
*1 oz. (about 15 pieces) Funyuns Onion Flavored Rings
*1/2 oz. (about 7 crisps) Pringles Light Sour Cream & Onion fat-free potato crisps
*2 tbsp. fat-free liquid egg substitute (like Egg Beaters Original)
*1 tsp. onion powder, or more to taste
*1/8 tsp. black pepper
*2 dashes garlic powder, or more to taste
*2 dashes salt, or more to taste
*6 wooden skewers
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2. Carefully slide each chicken strip lengthwise onto a skewer. Set aside.
3. In a large sealable plastic bag, combine Funyuns, Pringles, and seasonings. If you like, add extra seasonings to taste. Seal the bag and crush the chips until they're mostly reduced to a breadcrumb-like consistency. Transfer the seasoned crumbs to a plate, and set aside. Fill a small bowl with egg substitute, and set that aside as well.
4. Prepare a large baking sheet by spraying with nonstick spray.
5. Take a chicken skewer and dunk it in the egg substitute -- use a spoon to distribute the egg substitute over all of the chicken. Gently shake the skewer to remove any excess liquid, and then lay the skewer in the seasoned crumbs. Rotate the skewer, pressing it into the crumbs, until it is evenly coated. Use your fingers or a spoon to add and pat crumbs onto any bare spots on the chicken. Transfer to the baking sheet, and repeat with all other chicken skewers.
Bake in the oven for 18 - 20 minutes, carefully flipping skewers about halfway through cooking, until chicken is cooked through and coating is crispy. Allow to cool for a few minutes, and then enjoy!
*MAKES 3 SERVINGS*
WW Points: *4 for 2 Skewers
These were pretty tasty. The coating is the obvious star but the chicken was definitely fun to eat off the stick.
Tid Bits: None tonight guys
Ma's Spot: These things are fantastic! I love the combinations of the chips and the funyuns. What a different taste, what and amazing taste. I could go on and on and on about how good they are but I'll simply say you have to make these. I will say the sticks were kind of useless and a waste of time. I think they make great chicken tenders, they don't need the stick. It was hard situating them in the pan to bake. They got really hot which made it hard to touch them so you had to wait until they cooled off. So bypass the stick and go for the good stuff.
SNACK CORNER:* It's time for snack corner! Where we take new snacks in the grocery store and break it down for you. We tell you which are hot and which are not.
Let's get to this week's pick:
WW Points: *3 per bar
Dinah: No doubt we've all seen the latest commercial for the Fruttare bars. They seem like the new "it" ice cream for the summer so that's what we're reviewing tonight. Gotta say I am quite impressed with these bars. Not only do they have bits of real fruit in them but they taste like a frozen milkshake and they're only 3 points each? Sign me up! I'm going to skip all the other ice creams out there and stick with this one.
Ma: OMG these things are so creamy and delicious. I have tried most of the flavors and not one of them are disappointing. I have to say so far that the coconut ones are my favorite but I'm not done yet. I'm on a quest to try all the flavors. I'll give you further updates as my journey through Fruture continues.
That's all for tonight folks. See you here next Tuesday for more food goodness. Have a great week guys!
