About this recipe

Bite-size pieces of chicken breast get a crispy coating courtesy of almond flour and a quick brush of melted ghee, then bake until they're golden and tender before taking a toss through tangy, spicy buffalo sauce—landing you at just 3g net carbs per serving with 40g protein. The almond flour crust crisps up remarkably well, developing a subtle nutty flavor that actually pairs beautifully with the heat of the buffalo.

The secret to keeping these juicy is cubing the chicken small enough that it cooks through in 20 minutes without drying out, and resisting the urge to skip the resting period after baking—let them sit for 2-3 minutes out of the oven before tossing with sauce, so the exterior stays crispy rather than turning soggy. Toss them with the hot sauce just before serving, or keep sauce on the side if you're going for a crunch factor. Blue cheese crumbles and a fresh parsley garnish are the perfect foil to the spice—they're cooling, umami-rich, and traditionally paired for a reason. These freeze beautifully before saucing and reheat in a 325°F oven in about 8 minutes.
