Crunchy Whole Grain Chicken Bites

I didnt make the Slaw but I did just throw these chicken bites together (I used french onion which prob defeats the whole "healthy" idea but thats okay :)
They arent out of the Oven yet but ill comment on how they worked.

PS. Still havent gotten to try the choc chip cookies errr!


Ingredients
Dressing & Slaw:

1/2 c. Reduced-fat sour cream

2 tbsp. Reduced-fat mayonnaise

1 pkg. Dry ranch dressing mix, divided

5 stalks Celery

2 Carrots

Chicken Bites:

1 lb. Chicken tenders

Remaining dry ranch dressing mix from dressing, divided

1 Egg white

6 c. Whole-grain chips (like Sunchips)

1/4 tsp. Paprika

Vegetable oil

Hot sauce (optional)

Crumbled blue cheese (optional)
Preparation
1.Preheat oven to 400 degrees. For dressing, whisk together sour cream, mayo & 1 tbsp. of the dressing mix (reserve remaining dressing mix for chicken); set aside.


2.For chicken, cut chicken tenders into 1 1/2 pieces. Whisk together 1 tbsp. of the reserved dressing mix and egg white. Crush chips using flat side of meat tenderizer in resealable plastic bag; add remaining dressing mix and paprika and shake well.


3. Add chicken to egg white mixture; mix well to coat. Add half of the coated chicken to crumb mixture; shake to coat with crumbs and arrange in a single layer on rectangle stone. Repeat with remaining coated chicken and crumbs.


4. Spray chicken generously with oil using kitchen spritzer. Bake 14-16 min. or until chicken is golden brown and centers are no longer pink. Remove from oven.


5. Meanwhile, for slaw, thinly slice celery on the bias. Peel carrots; cut into julienne strips using julienne peeler. Combine celery and carrots with 1/4 c. of the dressing, mix well. To serve, diveide chicken and slaw among serving plates; serve with remaining dressing for dipping. If desired, drizzle chicken with hot sauce and crumble blue cheese over dressing.
