Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Almond flour
- 0.25 cup Coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 2 large Eggs
- 3 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 1.5 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 cup Chicken breast, cooked and shredded
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, minced
- 1 teaspoon Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Scallions, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, salt, and xanthan gum. Mix well and set aside.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the cream cheese and mozzarella cheese. Microwave on high for 1-2 minutes until melted, stirring halfway through.
Add the melted cheese mixture to the dry ingredients. Add the eggs and knead until a smooth dough forms.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Flatten each portion into a disc roughly 4 inches in diameter.
For the filling, mix the cooked shredded chicken with soy sauce, ginger, garlic, scallions, sesame oil, and black pepper in a bowl.
Place about a tablespoon of chicken filling in the center of each dough disc. Fold up the edges and pinch to seal, forming a bun shape.
Place the formed buns on the baking tray, ensuring they are sealed tightly to prevent the filling from leaking.
Brush each bun with water to help achieve a golden crust.
Bake the buns in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
Enjoy your low carb chicken pau warm or at room temperature!
