Ingredients

½ cup blue cheese
1 tablespoon sour cream
1 teaspoon lemon juice
⅙ teaspoon black pepper
1 pound chicken breasts approximately 4 smaller or 2 large breasts
¼ cup coconut flour
2 teaspoons heavy cream
1 large egg
¾ cup ground pork rinds
2 tablespoon unsalted butter
¼ cup roasted red bell peppers , chopped
2 teaspoon liquid from roasted red bell peppers
1 teaspoon worcestershire sauce
1 garlic clove minced
1 tablespoon hot sauce
1 tablespoon fresh cilantro

Instructions

For the cheese filling

Combine the blue cheese, sour cream, lemon juice, and ground black pepper in a small bowl.
Cut a horizontal slit through thickest portion of each chicken breast half to form a pocket. Stuff the blue cheese mixture evenly into the chicken.

For the breading

Place the flour in a shallow dish. Combine the milk and egg in another shallow dish, stirring well with a whisk. Place the pork rinds in a shallow dish. Working with 1 chicken breast half at a time, dredge chicken in flour, then dip in egg mixture; dredge in pork rinds. Repeat procedure with remaining chicken, flour, egg mixture, and pork rinds.

To cook the chicken

Heat a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon butter to pan; swirl until butter melts and is beginning to bubble. Arrange the breaded chicken in the skillet and cook for 4 minutes, or until browned.
Turn the chicken over and transfer the skillet in to the oven. Bake 20 minutes, or until done.

For the sauce

Combine the remaining butter, bell peppers, water, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and cook until the butter melts. Remove from the heat, and stir in the hot sauce.
Transfer the buffalo sauce to a blender and blend on high for 1 minute, until sauce is smooth.
Serve the sauce over top of the chicken and sprinkle with fresh cilantro.
