Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large chicken breasts
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1 cup coconut flour
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons ghee
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 teaspoons baking powder (Whole30-compliant)
- 1 cup coconut milk (full-fat)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the chicken breasts in a pot of boiling water. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked through and shreds easily. Once cooked, remove from the water and let cool slightly before shredding with two forks.
In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then add the melted ghee. Gradually stir in the coconut milk until fully incorporated.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms. It should hold together but not be too sticky.
Gently fold in the shredded chicken and parsley until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and shape each into a bun. Place them evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush the tops of the buns lightly with a bit more coconut milk and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the buns are golden brown and firm to the touch.
Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Whole30 chicken buns warm or at room temperature.
