"If you do not use coconut flour or have sour cream on hand, this is what I have done with great results. I used cream cheese and no flour. Just whisked in the cheese to the sauce in the pan. The servings are relative to how many chicken pieces you use. I use only 2 chicken legs and thighs as it is only the two of us."
