Chicken Broccoli and Cheese Pockets
INGREDIENT NOTES
MOZZARELLA CHEESE:
Shredded mozzarella forms the base of the fathead dough, giving it structure, elasticity, and the perfect melt. Using pre-shredded mozzarella ensures smooth, even mixing.
CREAM CHEESE:
Cream cheese helps bind the dough and keeps it soft and flexible. It blends with the mozzarella to create a smooth texture and adds a mild, creamy flavor.
ALMOND FLOUR:
A low-carb alternative to traditional flour, almond flour brings a soft, nutty texture to the dough. For the best results, use finely ground almond flour to achieve a smooth, pliable dough.
EGGS:
Eggs help hold the dough together and provide structure. They also promote browning during baking. A large egg works best for this recipe.
CHICKEN:
Shredded, cooked chicken adds lean protein and convenience. Rotisserie chicken is an excellent time-saving option.
BROCCOLI:
Broccoli brings freshness, fiber, and a tender bite to the filling. Steam it lightly and chop it small so it mixes evenly with the other ingredients.
CHEDDAR CHEESE:
Cheddar melts beautifully and adds a sharp, savory flavor that complements the chicken and broccoli. Freshly shredded cheddar melts best.
GARLIC POWDER:
Garlic powder adds a punch of flavor without adding carbs. A small amount blends smoothly into the filling.
ONION POWDER:
Onion powder gives a mild sweetness and depth of flavor. It works better than fresh onion in low-carb recipes and balances the richness of the cheese.
SALT & PEPPER:
Season the filling to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper for perfect flavor and aroma.
