Ingredients

• 2 cups cooked chicken breast
• 2 cups almond flour
• 0.5 cups tapioca flour
• 0.5 cups coconut oil
• 1 large egg
• 0.25 cups coconut milk
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 2 tablespoons chicken broth

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, tapioca flour, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Melt the coconut oil in a microwave-safe dish or on the stovetop, then add the coconut milk and chicken broth, stirring to combine.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, shred the cooked chicken breasts using two forks or a food processor.

Step 6

Mix the shredded chicken with freshly chopped parsley and season with additional salt and pepper to taste.

Step 7

Whisk the egg in a small bowl and set aside.

Step 8

Take a golf ball-sized portion of dough and flatten it into a small circle on your palm.

Step 9

Place a tablespoon of the chicken mix in the center of the dough and fold the edges over to seal. Use the egg wash to help seal the edges.

Step 10

Gently form the sealed dough into a puff shape and place on the baking sheet.

Step 11

Repeat the process with the remaining dough and chicken mixture.

Step 12

Brush the tops of the puffs with the egg wash to help them brown.

Step 13

Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the puffs are golden brown.

Step 14

Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.
