Ingredients
For the filling:
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 small leeks, finely sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 ½ cups cooked chicken, shredded or chopped
½ cup cream cheese, softened
¼ cup heavy cream
½ cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar
Salt & pepper, to taste
Optional: pinch of thyme or dried herbs
For the dough (Fathead Dough):
1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
2 tablespoons cream cheese
¾ cup almond flour
1 egg
Instructions
-
Prepare the filling: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sliced leeks and minced garlic, cooking until softened (about 5 minutes). Stir in shredded chicken, cream cheese, heavy cream, and shredded cheese. Season with salt, pepper, and optional herbs. Cook until well combined and heated through, then remove from heat to cool slightly.
-
Make the dough: In a separate bowl, melt shredded mozzarella and cream cheese in the microwave for 30-40 seconds. Stir in almond flour and egg, mixing until dough forms. Knead gently to ensure even incorporation.
-
Assemble the parcels: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll dough portions into ¼ inch thickness between parchment paper. Place chicken and leek mixture in the center of each dough portion. Fold dough over to form parcels and pinch the edges to seal.
-
Bake: Place parcels on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until golden and crispy.
Notes
Storage: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 2 months. To reheat, bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes.
Freezing tip: Wrap individual parcels in plastic wrap before freezing for easy grab-and-go meals.
Optional additions: Try adding spinach, mushrooms, or other low-carb vegetables to the filling for extra flavor and nutrition.
