- 4 ounces of softened cream cheese
- 2/3 cup bread crumbs
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and lightly mist a baking sheet with cooking spray.
- Fill a large pot with water and bring to a boil, then boil the chicken breasts uncovered for about 20 minutes until cooked through.
- When chicken breasts are cooked, drain the water and shred the chicken using two forks.
- In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken with the wing sauce, cheddar cheese, blue cheese, scallions and cream cheese. Stir until thoroughly mixed.

- When all of the chicken bites have been breaded, mist them lightly with cooking spray and bake for 20-25 minutes.
- Remove from oven, cool and decorate!
