They're simple, they're classic, and they go with everything. These guilt-free chicken dunkers are kind of like a really great pair of shoes... that you can eat. Mmmmm!

You may never look at breaded foods the same way again after you try our fiber-fried, cheese-smothered, saucy Chicken Parm swap. Serve it with a side of creamy Fettuccine Hungry Girlfredo and a salad, and you won't even miss your local Italian eatery.

4. Planet Hungrywood Sweet & Cap'n Crunchy Chicken

That's right, people. We took Cap'n Crunch cereal, crushed it up, and rolled chicken in it. Thanks for the bright idea, Planet Hollywood. This swap is SWEET!

PER SERVING (5 wings): 175 calories, 1.5g fat, 1,153mg sodium, 14g carbs, 4g fiber, <1g sugars, 27g protein -- POINTS® value 3*

In another installment of "Rolling Chicken in Crazy Stuff," we made an extremely delicious hot wing replacement using lean chicken breast, hot sauce, and... barbeque-flavored potato chips! BTW, Popchips ROCK in this recipe!

Long day at work? Here's your dinner recipe. It has only three ingredients and is insanely easy to make, AND you get to take out your aggression by pounding a piece of chicken flat. Food + stress relief = HOORAY!

PER SERVING (2 taquitos): 197 calories, 2.5g fat, 594mg sodium, 22.5g carbs, 3g fiber, 2g sugars, 20.5g protein -- POINTS® value 4*

We won't lie... We were a little skeptical about canned chicken before we tried it out in this recipe. Now we're obsessed with the stuff and it has to battle the tuna pouches for shelf space in our pantry. Food fight!

8. Sweet 'n Chunky Chicken Salad

PER SERVING (half of recipe, about 1 cup): 145 calories, 1.5g fat, 332mg sodium, 14g carbs, 1g fiber, 10g sugars, 21g protein -- POINTS® value 3*

Ignore all those fatty pre-made chicken salads out there! Not only is this one INSANELY low in fat and calories, it's also AMAZINGLY delicious. And, might we add, it's BEAUTIFUL. Chopped cucumbers, sliced grapes, and little apple bits? GORGEOUS!
