Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

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.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and flatten each piece into a disc.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Place each bun on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 10

Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.

Step 11

Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Keto Chicken Pau fresh from the oven!
