Recipe 45
Sadly, I'm getting pretty bad at remembering to take pictures of my dinners. And equally as awful as posting them- I guess it is harder to be an 365 no repeat urbanite after all. This recipe was yummy and super flavorful, definitely spicier the next day when reheated for my lunch. I bought the blue cheese with this recipe and the one that will follow in mind, so since it's a little expensive I suggest having another recipe in mind if you decide to make it! Not sure how well it went over with the boy, but I thought for a healthy chicken wing substitute, it was pretty delish.
2/3 cup old fashioned oats
1/2 C fat-free milk
2 1/2 T Frank's buffalo wing sauce, more or less to taste
1 lb extra lean ground chicken (do not substitute ground turkey here!)
1/2 C finely chopped celery
1/4 C shredded carrot
1/4 C finely chopped sweet onion
1 egg lightly beaten
1/4 t salt
1/2 C crumbled reduced-fat blue cheese
Preheat your oven to 350F. Lightly mist a 9x5x3 loaf pan with olive oil spray. I lined my pan with aluminum foil and then sprayed that, hello easy clean-up!
Combine the oats and milk in a bowl and stir to mix. Let stand for about 3 minutes or until the oats begin to soften. Stir in the wing sauce until well mixed. Add the chicken, celery, carrot, onion, egg whites and salt. Mix the ingredients with a fork or clean hands well. Add the blue cheese crumbles and gently mix to combine.
Transfer the mixture to your prepared loaf pan and press down, spread so that the top is flat. Bake for about an hour, or until the chicken is completely cooked and no longer pink. Cut into 8 slices and serve! I did a twice baked potato as the side for this recipe and thought it complimented it rather well- stick with a broccoli/cheese mix for the potato to keep it lightened up! Or, serve with a green salad.
