Putting Favorites on a Diet
When you’re craving the American favorite, chicken fingers, don’t
be tempted by the deep fried version they serve at the drive-thru.
Use this finger-licking-good recipe instead to make a healthy
version in a snap. Team these fingers up with the tasty, low-fat
version of the traditional honey mustard dipping sauce. You
will put those other chicken fingers to shame. Your whole family
will enjoy these fingers on top of a salad, as a main dish or
as an appetizer.
