If you're watching your weight this Super Bowl Sunday, you don't neccessarily have to give up all those yummy game-time snacks. Cooking Light magazine has come up with low-calorie versions of sporty favorites, including Buffalo chicken tenders with blue cheese fondue and spicy chicken quesadillas. So go ahead, dig in this Sunday!
Yields 8 servings. Serving size: 1 1/2 ounces chicken, 1/4 cup beans, 1/4 cup carrots, 1/4 cup celery, 1/4 cup bell pepper, 1 1/2 ounces bread and about 1/3 cup fondue
INGREDIENTS
Dippers
Fondue
Preheat oven to 400° F.
To prepare dippers, place each chicken breast half between 2 sheets of heavy-duty plastic wrap, and flatten to a 1/2-inch thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin. Place the chicken on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Brush with 2 tablespoons wing sauce. Bake at 400° for 5 minutes. Turn chicken over, and brush with 2 tablespoons wing sauce. Bake an additional 5 minutes or until done. Cut chicken into 1-inch pieces.
Cook the beans in boiling water for 1 minute or until crisp-tender; drain. Rinse with cold water; drain well. Place beans on a platter with carrot, celery, bell pepper and bread; set aside.
To prepare the fondue, combine the blue cheese and the cornstarch in a large saucepan. Stir in wine, milk and cream cheese. Bring to a boil over medium heat; cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to medium-low; cook 8 minutes or until mixture is smooth, stirring frequently. Pour into a fondue pot. Keep warm over low flame. Serve with dippers.
To keep the cheese creamy and smooth, stir the dippers in a figure-eight movement. A heavy enamel fondue pot helps prevent the cheese from burning on the bottom. Wing sauce can be found with other hot sauces in the condiment section of your grocery store.

Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add the sliced mushrooms, chopped bell pepper and onion, and saute 4 minutes or until the mushrooms are tender.

Spread about 1/2 cup chicken mixture over each of 4 tortillas, and top each with 2 tablespoons Cheddar cheese and remaining tortillas. Coat skillet with cooking spray, and place over medium heat until hot. Add 1 tortilla to skillet, and cook for 3 minutes on each side or until lightly browned. Remove from skillet, and keep warm. Repeat the procedure with the remaining quesadillas. Cut each quesadilla into 3 wedges.
