Ingredients

• 1 lb chicken breast
• 0.5 cup coconut flour
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 0.5 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1 egg
• 0.25 cup heavy cream
• 4 tbsp butter
• 0.5 cup frank's red hot sauce
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 0.5 cup blue cheese crumbles
• 4 sticks celery sticks

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Slice the chicken breast into thin strips, about 1-inch wide.

Step 3

In a shallow bowl, mix together the coconut flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.

Step 4

In another bowl, whisk together the egg and heavy cream until well combined.

Step 5

Dip each chicken strip into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off, then coat in the coconut flour mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.

Step 6

Heat the olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken strips and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. You may need to do this in batches.

Step 7

Transfer the skillet with the chicken strips to the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and crispy.

Step 8

While the chicken is baking, prepare the buffalo sauce by melting the butter in a small saucepan over low heat.

Step 9

Once the butter has melted, add the Frank's Red Hot Sauce and whisk until the sauce is smooth and combined. Remove from heat.

Step 10

Once the chicken is done, remove it from the oven and pour the buffalo sauce over the chicken strips, making sure each piece is well coated.

Step 11

Serve the buffalo chicken with blue cheese crumbles on top and celery sticks on the side.
