Keto Chicken Puffs

Keto Chicken Puffs

Ingredients:

For the Chicken Puffs:

• 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded

• 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded

• 1/4 cup cream cheese

• 1/2 cup almond flour

• 1/4 cup coconut flour

• 1/2 tsp baking powder

• 1/4 tsp garlic powder

• 1/4 tsp onion powder

• 1/4 tsp salt

• 1/4 tsp black pepper

• 2 large eggs

• 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (optional)

For the Gravy:

• 1 cup chicken broth

• 1/2 cup heavy cream

• 1/4 cup butter

• 1/2 tsp xanthan gum (for thickening)

• Salt and pepper to taste

• 1/4 tsp garlic powder (optional)

• 1/4 tsp onion powder (optional)

Instructions:

Chicken Puffs:

1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Prepare the dough: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave on high for 1 minute, then stir. Microwave for an additional 30 seconds or until the cheese is fully melted and combined.

3. Mix the dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.

4. Combine ingredients: Add the flour mixture to the melted cheese mixture and stir to combine. Add the eggs and mix until a dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, you can add a little more almond flour.

5. Add the chicken: Fold in the shredded chicken and parsley (if using) until evenly distributed.

6. Shape the puffs: Using your hands, shape the dough into small balls (about the size of a golf ball) and place them on the prepared baking sheet.

7. Bake: Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the puffs are golden brown and cooked through.

Gravy:

1. Melt the butter: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.

2. Add the broth and cream: Whisk in the chicken broth and heavy cream.

3. Thicken the gravy: Sprinkle the xanthan gum into the mixture while whisking continuously to prevent clumping. Cook, stirring constantly, until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency (about 5-7 minutes).

4. Season: Add salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to taste.

Serve:

1. Plate the puffs: Arrange the chicken puffs on a plate.

2. Add the gravy: Pour the gravy over the chicken puffs or serve it on the side for dipping.

Tips:

• Make sure to use full-fat cream cheese and mozzarella cheese to keep the recipe keto-friendly.

• You can add your favorite herbs and spices to the dough for additional flavor.

• Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven to keep the puffs crispy.
