Ingredients
- 12 large leaves Swiss chard leaves
- 250 grams Ground chicken
- 50 grams Almond flour
- 1 large Egg
- 100 grams Full-fat Greek yogurt
- 50 grams Cream cheese
- 1 small, finely chopped Onion
- 2 minced Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon, freshly grated Nutmeg
- 200 ml Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Blanch the Swiss chard leaves for 1 minute until just tender. Remove immediately and plunge into ice water to cool. Drain and set aside.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, almond flour, egg, Greek yogurt, cream cheese, chopped onion, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg. Mix until well combined.
Step 3
Lay out a Swiss chard leaf on a clean surface. Place about 2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture at the base of the leaf. Fold in the sides and roll it up tightly. Repeat with the remaining leaves and filling.
Step 4
In a large, deep skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Arrange the Capuns seam-side down in the skillet. Gently pour the heavy cream over the Capuns, ensuring they are mostly submerged.
Step 5
Bring the cream to a gentle simmer, cover the skillet, and let the Capuns cook for approximately 20-25 minutes, or until the filling is cooked through.
Step 6
Remove the Capuns carefully with a slotted spoon and place on a serving dish.
Step 7
Increase the heat and reduce the cooking liquid slightly until thickened, about 3-5 minutes. Drizzle this sauce over the Capuns.
Step 8
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
