Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 1 tablespoon Coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 4 large Eggs
- 2 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 2 ounces Cream cheese
- 1 tablespoon Avocado oil
- 1 cup Chicken breast, cooked and shredded
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Green onion, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine the mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave for about 1 minute, stirring halfway until melted and well-blended.
In a separate bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt.
Add the flours and eggs to the melted cheese mixture. Mix until a dough forms. If sticky, refrigerate for 10 minutes.
Heat avocado oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.
Stir in shredded chicken, soy sauce, sesame oil, black pepper, and chopped green onion. Cook for 2-3 minutes, mixing well. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and flatten each piece into a disc.
Place about 1 tablespoon of chicken filling in the center of each disc, fold the dough over the filling, and seal the edges to form a bun.
Place each bun on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Keto Chicken Pau fresh from the oven!
