Ingredients

• 250 grams Boneless, skinless chicken breast
• 50 grams Coconut flour
• 50 grams Almond flour
• 3 large Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
• 0.5 teaspoon Chili flakes
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Green onions, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the chicken filling. Cut the chicken breast into small cubes.

Step 2

In a medium-sized skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 3

Add the chicken cubes to the skillet. Cook the chicken until it is no longer pink, around 5-7 minutes.

Step 4

Add soy sauce, chili flakes, and black pepper to the chicken. Cook for an additional 3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 5

In a large bowl, combine the coconut flour, almond flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 6

In another bowl, beat 2 eggs and combine them with the flours. Mix well to form a dough. If the dough is too sticky, add a bit more almond flour.

Step 7

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 8

Divide the dough into 10 equal portions. Flatten each portion into a disc in your hand and spoon a tablespoon of the chicken filling into the center.

Step 9

Carefully fold the dough over the filling, pinching the edges together to seal and form a pao shape.

Step 10

Place the mini paos on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 11

In a small bowl, beat the remaining egg and brush the tops of the paos with the egg wash.

Step 12

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown.

Step 13

Garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
