Ingredients

• 2 large chicken breasts
• 2 cups almond flour
• 1 cup coconut flour
• 3 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons ghee
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 teaspoons baking powder (Whole30-compliant)
• 1 cup coconut milk (full-fat)
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Place the chicken breasts in a pot of boiling water. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked through and shreds easily. Once cooked, remove from the water and let cool slightly before shredding with two forks.

Step 3

In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then add the melted ghee. Gradually stir in the coconut milk until fully incorporated.

Step 5

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms. It should hold together but not be too sticky.

Step 6

Gently fold in the shredded chicken and parsley until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 7

Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and shape each into a bun. Place them evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 8

Brush the tops of the buns lightly with a bit more coconut milk and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the buns are golden brown and firm to the touch.

Step 10

Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Whole30 chicken buns warm or at room temperature.
