Just thought of something! Someone should try it with a little sour cream to give it a nice tangy taste and let me know how it comes out. If you reallly want to add some kick add a few bits of jalapeno peppers!

I can't wait to try this myself! I love foods with a little kick to it. This may be a good snacker for a retreat I'm going to with a few ladies from my church.

As a lover of all things buffalo chicken, I was skepitical that all the low fat ingredients would be tasty... It really was. The recipie was quick and easy to make, and something you can even make ahead, and just pop in the oven to cook when you want it. I will make this again!
