Ingredients

• 1 cup Cooked chicken breast
• 2 cups Almond flour
• 2 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 2 ounces Cream cheese
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Minced garlic
• 1 tablespoon Chopped fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon Butter

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave on high in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the cheeses are completely melted and combined.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, mix together the almond flour and baking powder.

Step 4

Add the melted cheese mixture, egg, and the almond flour mixture to a food processor. Pulse until a smooth dough forms.

Step 5

Transfer the dough to a large bowl and knead until it has an even consistency.

Step 6

Roll out the dough between two sheets of parchment paper to about 1/4 inch thickness. Use a cookie cutter or a knife to cut out circles, approximately 4 inches in diameter.

Step 7

In a separate bowl, combine the cooked chicken, salt, black pepper, minced garlic, and parsley.

Step 8

Place a spoonful of the chicken mixture onto each dough circle. Fold the dough over to create a half-moon shape and press the edges together to seal.

Step 9

Melt the butter and brush it over the top of each chicken puff.

Step 10

Place the puffs on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown.

Step 11

Allow the puffs to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before serving. Enjoy your keto chicken puffs warm!
