mrandmrsr: Creamy Buffalo Chicken Balls

Want a healthier version of the Buffalo Chicken Dip that I previously posted? Well, I also made these this weekend. I had been wanting to experiment with Buffalo Chicken Balls, so I finally did it! I am not a huge spicy fan, so for me, Buffalo Chicken Dip is not my favorite! In going with my eagerness to try to cook low-carb, these are also in that category as well. They are best when served right out of the oven. When you bite into them, they are extremely creamy and delicious. You also have the choice of dipping them in more buffalo sauce for a spicier taste, or just regular blue cheese, or ranch, whatever you prefer. They make a great passed hourdourve and can be fancy or perfect for tailgating!

Ingredients:
3 cups shredded chicken (2 chicken breasts)
1/4 cup Frank's Buffalo hot sauce (you can add more if you prefer your a little spicier)
3 1/2 oz. cream cheese
1 3/4 cup sharp cheddar cheese
2 eggs, lightly beaten
2 cups panko bread crumbs
Buffalo Hot sauce and blue cheese dressing for dipping

Directions:

1. Add the shredded chicken and cream cheese to a bowl. Mix well.

2. Add the buffalo sauce to the chicken mixture and mix well.

3. Add the cheddar cheese.

4. Mix everything together so that it forms into one big ball.

5. Form tiny 1-inch balls out of the mixture and set aside.

6. First dip the chicken ball into the egg.

7. Then, dip it into the panko bread crumbs. You could use regular bread crumbs, but I just find that the panko bread crumbs are lighter and have a nice crunch to them.
