Buffalo sauce is typically pepper sauce mixed with a lot of butter, this works fantastic for ketogenic recipes. This dish packs a punch. Try the buffalo sauce on anything that needs a flavor boost. Cauliflower is especially good!
Ingredients
- 1 pound (454 grams) ground chicken breast, or diced whole chicken breast
- ½ stick (56 grams) butter
- 1¼ cup (125 grams) sliced celery
- ½ cup (60 grams) Frank’s RedHot Buffalo Wings sauce
- ¼ cup (54 grams) light olive oil
- ½ cup (115 grams) full-fat sour cream, divided into 4 servings (⅛ cup each)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: garlic powder to taste
How to Make It
- Season the ground chicken breast with salt, pepper, and garlic powder if desired. Form the ground chicken into golf ball-size meatballs.
- In a nonstick skillet, melt the butter over medium to high heat. Brown the meatballs in the melted butter, turning several times to brown each side.
- Once the meatballs are browned, reduce the heat to low. Add the celery, hot sauce, and olive oil. Stir very well to combine the sauce ingredients.
- Simmer the meatballs in the sauce until the meatballs are completely cooked through and the celery has softened about 15 to 20 minutes.
- Divide the meatballs and sauce into four equal servings and top with the sour cream. Serve alongside a simple iceberg salad with blue cheese dressing to complete the meal.
