Ingredients

• 2 pieces Chicken breasts, thinly sliced
• 1 cup Almond flour
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened coconut flakes
• 2 large Eggs, beaten
• 0.25 cup Coconut oil
• 1 cup Cauliflower rice
• 4 oz Cream cheese, softened
• 4 pieces Nori sheets
• 1 small Cucumber, cut into thin strips
• 1 medium Avocado, sliced
• 0.25 cup Soy sauce (or coconut aminos)
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the chicken katsu. In a bowl, mix the almond flour, coconut flakes, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

Place the beaten eggs in another bowl.

Step 3

Dip each chicken slice into the beaten eggs, then coat with the almond flour mixture.

Step 4

Heat coconut oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the coated chicken slices until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove from heat and let cool, then slice into thin strips.

Step 5

For the cauliflower rice, in a bowl, combine the cauliflower rice with softened cream cheese. Mix well until the cream cheese is fully incorporated, creating a sticky rice-like mixture.

Step 6

Lay a sheet of nori on a sushi mat, shiny side down.

Step 7

Spread a thin layer of the cauliflower rice mixture evenly over the nori, leaving a small border at the top edge.

Step 8

Place the chicken katsu slices, cucumber strips, and avocado slices on the rice at the bottom edge of the nori.

Step 9

Using the sushi mat, carefully roll the nori tightly over the fillings, applying a gentle pressure to form a tight roll.

Step 10

Moisten the top edge of the nori with a little water to seal the roll.

Step 11

Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into bite-sized pieces.

Step 12

Repeat the process with remaining ingredients to make additional rolls.

Step 13

Serve the sushi rolls with soy sauce or coconut aminos for dipping.
