Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 1 tablespoon Coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Warm water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 cup Chicken breast, cooked and shredded
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Green onions, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to combine.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, warm water, and olive oil. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until a dough forms.
Knead the dough gently for a minute until it is smooth and holds together well. If it's too dry, add a tiny bit more water, but be careful not to make it sticky.
Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and then flatten into a round disc about 1/4-inch thick.
In a bowl, combine the shredded chicken, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, green onions, and sesame oil. Mix until well incorporated.
Place about one tablespoon of the chicken filling in the center of each dough disc. Carefully fold the dough over the filling and pinch the edges to seal into a bun shape.
Place the filled buns onto the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the buns are golden brown and cooked through.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Keto Chicken Bao warm!
