Buffalo Chicken Quinoa Bites with Greek Yogurt Bleu Cheese Dip

Ok. These things are RIDICULOUS. I was feeling (boys close your eyes) super PMS-y today and was in need of some comfort food. These bites are so easy to make and so delicious. Original recipe here. 

Ingredients:

·                  1 cup cooked quinoa

·                  1 cup shredded chicken

·                  1/4 cup goat cheese

·                  1/4 cup sharp cheddar

·                  1/4 cup buffalo sauce

·                  1/4 cup Panko breadcrumbs

·                  1 large egg, beaten

·                  2 TBSP whole wheat flour

·                  Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

(Dip)

·                  1 cup Greek yogurt

·                  1/4 cup blue cheese

·                  1/2 tsp garlic powder

·                  1/2 tsp dried dill

·                  1/2 tsp dried parsley

·                  Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Combine all the dip ingredients and mix together.

I used the back of a spoon to flatten some of the larger bleu cheese chunks. Nothing worse that a mouth full of bleu cheese! Put in the fridge to keep cool until serving.

Combine the rest of the ingredients together in a bowl.

It should all bind together to form a sticky, doughy ball. 

Grease a mini muffin/cupcake tin. Use a spoon (and your hands!) to form the mixture into 1-1 1/2 tbs balls.

The recipe calls for a mini muffin tin, which I don't have, so I used just a regular cupcake tin and they turned out totally fine. Bake on 350 for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown and set.

Eat immediately! Why would you want to wait anyway? I probably had 7 before I made myself stop!
