Bufflo Chicken Sandwiches and Spinach Artichoke Dip

I love spicy anything, husband...not so much, so any chance I get to have spicy things that I can control the spicy factor on, I'm game!

Tonight we will be having Buffalo chicken sandwiches. Though I don't like to admit it (who am I Kidding..I could care less) I like short cuts. While grocery shopping, I picked up a bag of the frozen breaded chick tenderloins so I could bypass doing it my self.

The sauce is super easy. You need 2 things:

Hot Sauce
Butter
(add a smidgen of vinegar if you would like)

Cook the chicken pieces in oven according to direction on bag.

While cooking:

Place butter and hot sauce in sauce pan and let melt Slowly...very slowly!

You can change the intensity to your liking by adding more butter or less hot sauce.

Once chicken is done put in a dish and cove with sauce.

Place chicken in the oven and broil for a minute or two for a crispy sandwich.

Serve blue cheese dressing on the side.

With the sandwiches tonight I will be serving spinach dip.


Let me tell you...I found this spinach dip recipe at none other than allrecipes.com and this is the best one I have ever tasted...ever!

I make this often when we have company.

Ingredients:

1 (14 ounce) can artichoke hearts, drained
1/3 cup grated Romano cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
1/3 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup sour cream
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
   
3. In a blender or food processor, place artichoke hearts, Romano cheese, Parmesan cheese and garlic . Pulse until chopped, but not ground. Set aside.
   
4. In a medium bowl, mix together spinach, heavy cream, sour cream and mozzarella cheese. Stir in artichoke mixture. Spoon into prepared baking dish.
   
5. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.

**If you are not into artichoke in your dip just leave it out and skip the blender/foor processor step...just add the cheeses and garlic to the stuff in the next step. Ive done this a few times to cut down on time since I was in a rush. Still tasted absolutly delish!
