Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Almond flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 2 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 1 large Egg
- 1 cup Cooked chicken breast
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese and cream cheese.
Microwave the cheeses in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until they are completely melted and combined smoothly.
In a separate bowl, mix almond flour and baking powder together.
Add the almond flour mixture, salt, garlic powder, and onion powder to the melted cheese mixture, mixing well.
Incorporate the egg into the dough and mix until a dough forms. It may be sticky, so you might want to wet your hands to handle it better.
Finely shred or chop the cooked chicken breast and fold it into the dough until well incorporated.
Divide the dough into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a bun, placing them onto the prepared baking sheet.
Sprinkle sesame seeds on top of each bun.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-25 minutes, or until the buns are golden brown and firm to the touch.
Allow the buns to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
