Healthy-ish Gluten Free Buffalo Chicken Bites with amazingly unhealthy 3 Cheese Fondue

I made these for our Super Bowl "Party"- and by party I mean it was just Dan and I stuffing ourselves on amazingly fattening foods we usually don't indulge in. But among the indulgent foods these bites and fondue really stood out. The hardest part of this recipe is to not eat that entire fondue in one sitting!!!

 

INGREDIENTS

For the Chicken:

2-3 Chicken Breasts- cut into small cubes

1 Jar of Buffalo Sauce

3 Eggs, beaten

2 cups Flour

3 cups Almond Meal (or Gluten Free Bread Crumbs)

Spray Olive Oil

 

For the 3 Cheese Fondue:

2 cloves Garlic, pressed

1 cup Heavy Cream

½ cup Blue Cheese, crumbled

2 cups Gruyere Cheese, shredded

1 cup Mozzarella Cheese shredded

1 tbsp. Butter

1 tbsp. Gluten Free Flour

 

INSTRUCTIONS

To Prep & Cook the Chicken:

-          Preheat Oven to 400 degrees

-          Set up 3 bowls for breading the chicken- 1 for flour, 1 for eggs and then 1 for Almond Meal (in that order). Individually dip each cube of chicken into each bowl, coating them completely. After they have been coated in the almond meal, place them on a baking sheet lightly lined with spray olive oil.

-          Once they have all been place on the baking sheet, lightly spray the top of each one with the spray olive oil.

-          Cook for 15 min, flipping halfway through. If they look a bit dry once you flip then you can add another light layer of spray oil.

-          Once the chicken is finished cooking, dip each piece into the buffalo sauce, completely coating them.

While the chicken is cooking, start the fondue:

-          Heat garlic and cream in a small saucepan.

-          Slowly add the 3 cheese to your saucepan.

-          In a small bowl mix together melted butter and flour. Once the flour has completely blended with the butter add to the cheese mixture.

-          If it is too liquid for you, you can either add more cheese or more of the flour/butter mix. But it will thicken up quite a bit as it cools.
