Ingredients

• 1 pound Boneless skinless chicken breast
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 3 Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cup Chicken broth
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 0.5 teaspoon Xanthan gum
• 2 cups Almond flour
• 1 large Egg
• 2 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.

Step 3

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil. Cook the chicken breasts until golden brown on both sides and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and let cool, then chop into bite-sized pieces.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add butter and melt over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Step 5

Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring to combine. Sprinkle in the xanthan gum and whisk until the mixture thickens slightly. Add the chopped chicken back into the skillet and toss to coat. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 6

In a separate bowl, combine almond flour and baking powder.

Step 7

In a microwave-safe bowl, add the mozzarella cheese and heat in the microwave for 1 minute or until melted. Add the egg and mix thoroughly.

Step 8

Slowly add the almond flour mixture to the melted cheese and egg, stirring well until a dough forms.

Step 9

On a piece of parchment paper, roll out the dough until it is about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 10

Transfer the dough to a baking sheet and spoon the chicken mixture into the center.

Step 11

Fold the edges of the dough over the chicken mixture, leaving some of it exposed.

Step 12

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown.

Step 13

Allow the pastry to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
