Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Almond flour
• 1.5 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 6 tablespoons Cream cheese
• 2 large Eggs
• 1.5 cups Cooked chicken breast
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Chopped fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon Butter

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese and 2 tablespoons of cream cheese. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the cheese is fully melted and combined.

Step 3

Add the almond flour and one egg to the melted cheese mixture. Stir until a dough forms. It may be sticky; you can wet your hands to help handle it.

Step 4

On a countertop or a large piece of parchment paper, roll the dough out to approximately 1/4 inch thickness. Cut into 8 squares.

Step 5

In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken breast, remaining cream cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and parsley. Mix until well combined.

Step 6

Spoon equal portions of the chicken mixture into the center of each square of dough.

Step 7

Carefully fold the corners of each square over the chicken filling to create a closed pouch, pinching the edges to seal.

Step 8

In a small bowl, whisk the remaining egg. Brush the tops of the puffs with the beaten egg.

Step 9

Place the puffs onto the prepared baking sheet.

Step 10

Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the puffs are golden brown and cooked through.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and brush with a little butter for extra flavor.

Step 12

Allow to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before serving. Enjoy warm.
