Ingredients

• 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 packet Active dry yeast
• 1 cup Warm water
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 pound Skinless, boneless chicken breast
• 0.5 cup Non-fat yogurt
• 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 medium Red bell pepper, finely chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Cumin powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Coriander powder
• 1 Egg white
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water and let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.

Step 2

Add olive oil, salt, and 3 cups of all-purpose flour to the yeast mixture. Mix well with a wooden spoon until a dough begins to form.

Step 3

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes, adding more flour as necessary until the dough is elastic and smooth.

Step 4

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.

Step 5

While the dough is rising, prepare the chicken filling by cutting the chicken breast into small cubes.

Step 6

In a non-stick pan over medium heat, add a tablespoon of water, the chopped onion, and minced garlic. Sauté until soft.

Step 7

Add the chicken cubes to the pan along with the red bell pepper, cumin powder, coriander powder, black pepper, and a pinch of salt. Cook until the chicken is no longer pink and cooked through.

Step 8

Stir in the non-fat yogurt, mixing everything well, then remove from heat and let it cool.

Step 9

Once the dough has risen, punch it down to remove air. Roll it out into a large rectangle about 1/4 inch thick on a floured surface.

Step 10

Spread the cooled chicken mixture over the dough, leaving about an inch of space along the edges.

Step 11

Carefully roll the dough into a log, starting from one edge, then tuck the ends underneath.

Step 12

Place the roll seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 13

Brush the top of the dough with egg white and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Step 14

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 15

Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.

Step 16

Once baked, allow the chicken bread to cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy your low-fat chicken bread!
