Ingredients

• 1 cup Cooked chicken breast, shredded
• 3 cups Whole wheat flour
• 2 teaspoons Instant yeast
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1.5 cups Low sodium chicken broth
• 1 tablespoon No-salt-added dried herbs (e.g., thyme, oregano)
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 unit Large egg

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, instant yeast, no-salt-added dried herbs, garlic powder, and black pepper.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, whisk together the low sodium chicken broth, honey, olive oil, and egg until well blended.

Step 3

Slowly add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until a dough begins to form.

Step 4

Add the shredded cooked chicken and knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and elastic.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 7

Punch down the dough, shape it into a loaf, and place it in a greased bread pan.

Step 8

Let it rise for another 30 minutes, or until the loaf has risen slightly above the edge of the pan.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
