Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Almond flour
• 0.25 cup Coconut flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Xanthan gum
• 2 large Eggs
• 3 tablespoons Cream cheese
• 1.5 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 1 cup Chicken breast, cooked and shredded
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, minced
• 1 teaspoon Garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons Scallions, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Water

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, salt, and xanthan gum. Mix well and set aside.

Step 3

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the cream cheese and mozzarella cheese. Microwave on high for 1-2 minutes until melted, stirring halfway through.

Step 4

Add the melted cheese mixture to the dry ingredients. Add the eggs and knead until a smooth dough forms.

Step 5

Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Flatten each portion into a disc roughly 4 inches in diameter.

Step 6

For the filling, mix the cooked shredded chicken with soy sauce, ginger, garlic, scallions, sesame oil, and black pepper in a bowl.

Step 7

Place about a tablespoon of chicken filling in the center of each dough disc. Fold up the edges and pinch to seal, forming a bun shape.

Step 8

Place the formed buns on the baking tray, ensuring they are sealed tightly to prevent the filling from leaking.

Step 9

Brush each bun with water to help achieve a golden crust.

Step 10

Bake the buns in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.

Step 12

Enjoy your low carb chicken pau warm or at room temperature!
