Clean Boneless Buffalo Wings

I love boneless wings - crunchy outside, yummy sauce! But holy calories, fat and sugar (yes, from the sauces)! After some experimenting, I think this is the cleanest and most yummy solution! Bonus - the girls loved the chicken before the sauce, so I saved them plain for them and they thought it was Chick-fi-la! I am thinking this will be bomb in a wrap or on top of a salad - All around win in our house!

What you need:

• 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite size pieces
• 1 egg
• 1/2 cup of whole wheat flour
• 1/2 cup of Frank's hot sauce (I didn't use as much because the girls ate them plain)
• 1 tbsp. butter, melted (optional)
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp seasoning salt
• Extra Virgin Olive Oil Spray

What you need to do:

1. Preheat over to 400.
2. In a bowl, crack and scramble egg.
3. In a second bowl, add flour, garlic powder and seasoning salt - mix thoroughly
4. Spray a baking sheet with olive oil spray (I love the Target Simply Balanced Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil Spray
5. Dip the chicken in the egg to coat.
6. Next, dredge the chicken in the flour mixture and cover evenly
7. Place coated chicken on baking pan.
8. Once complete, spray the tops with the olive oil spray (helps them to brown)
9. Bake for 10 minutes, then flip and bake for 10 more minutes
10. Optional step: Stir melted butter and franks together in a bowl and dip the baked chicken in the mixture until evenly coated - I just dipped mine in franks and left the girls plain!

Perfect to dip into Bolthouse Yogurt Ranch! Enjoy!

Clean Cookie Dough

Ever crave something sweet, but not want to throw off your whole day? Or crave something sweet day after day and then one day cave and eat 1500 calories at the local bakery during that certain time of the month?? Of course, we are all human! And a sweet treat is fine, but what if you could give in a little without undoing your whole day? For me, my weakness is cookie dough - raw, in a blizzard, and I could eat spoonful after spoonful (believe me I have!) But today I have the answer to that craving!

What you need:

• 2/3 cup raw cashews
• 1.3 cup oats
• 2 TBSP Agave
• 1 TBSP Maple Syrup
• 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
• 1/4 cup Chocolate Chips

What you need to do:

Blend the cashews and oats in a blender or food processor until they are in a powder (high speed but be careful not to overblend - or the cashews will turn into cashew butter!)

 

 

Add the agave, maple syrup, vanilla and blend until well incorporated - best to blend in short bursts, again do not over process

 

 

Stir in chocolate chips by hand



 

Form into balls and freeze or refrigerate!

Enjoy!
