Ingredients

• 2 cups Almond flour
• 1 cup Coconut flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Sea salt
• 4 large Eggs
• 0.75 cup Coconut milk
• 0.25 cup Olive oil
• 1 pound Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons Coconut aminos
• 4 minced Garlic cloves
• 1 tablespoon Ginger
• 3 chopped Green onions
• 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a bowl, mix almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and sea salt together.

Step 3

In another bowl, beat eggs thoroughly and then add coconut milk and olive oil. Mix well until combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until a dough forms. Set aside to rest.

Step 5

Place chicken breasts in a pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Let simmer for 15-20 minutes, until fully cooked.

Step 6

Remove the chicken from the pot and let it cool slightly. Shred the chicken using two forks.

Step 7

In a skillet over medium heat, add the shredded chicken along with coconut aminos, minced garlic, ginger, chopped green onions, fresh cilantro, and black pepper. Stir to combine and cook for 5 minutes until fragrant.

Step 8

Divide the rested dough into 8 equal portions. Flatten each portion in your hand to form a disk about 4 inches in diameter.

Step 9

Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the chicken filling into the center of each disk. Fold the edges over the filling, pinching to seal and form a smooth pau.

Step 10

Place each pau on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden.

Step 11

Remove the baked pau from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.
