Ingredients

• 1 large head Cauliflower
• 1 cup Almond flour
• 1 cup Coconut flour
• 3 large Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 pound Chicken breast, ground
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon Ginger, minced
• 2 tablespoons Green onions, chopped
• 2 tablespoons Coconut aminos
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the cauliflower dough. Remove the leaves and stem from the cauliflower and cut it into florets.

Step 2

Using a food processor, pulse the cauliflower until it resembles a rice-like consistency.

Step 3

Transfer the cauliflower rice to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high for 5 minutes.

Step 4

Let the cauliflower cool slightly, then place it in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out all the moisture until dry.

Step 5

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 6

In a large bowl, combine the dried cauliflower, almond flour, coconut flour, eggs, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Mix until a dough forms.

Step 7

For the filling, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.

Step 8

Add the minced garlic and ginger, and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Step 9

Add the ground chicken to the skillet and cook until browned.

Step 10

Mix in the green onions, coconut aminos, salt, pepper, and sesame oil. Cook for another 3-5 minutes until well combined and heated through.

Step 11

Take a small portion of the dough and flatten it in your hands to form a circle about 4 inches in diameter.

Step 12

Spoon a tablespoon of the chicken filling into the center of the dough circle.

Step 13

Carefully fold the edges of the dough over the filling, pinching to seal the bun.

Step 14

Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.

Step 15

Place the buns on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the dough is firm and lightly golden.

Step 16

Let the chicken pau cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your Whole30 Chicken Pau as a main dish or a delightful snack.
