Recipe: Keto Chicken Dumplings

Ingredients:

For the Filling:

2 cups cooked chicken breast, diced

1 cup celery, diced
1 cup carrots, diced
1/2 cup onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup heavy cream

2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon dried thyme

Salt and pepper to taste

For the Dumplings:

1 1/2 cups almond flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum (optional, for texture)
1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Filling:

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until they become fragrant and translucent.

Add the diced chicken, celery, and carrots to the skillet. Sauté for a few minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.
Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream. Season the filling with dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir well and let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes, or until the mixture thickens slightly.

2. Prepare the Dumplings:

In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, baking powder, and xanthan gum (if using). Mix well.

Pour in the unsweetened almond milk and stir until a thick batter forms.
Fold in the chopped fresh parsley, and season the dumpling batter with salt and pepper.

3. Simmer the Dumplings:

Drop spoonfuls of the dumpling batter onto the chicken and vegetable filling in the skillet. Cover and let the dumplings simmer for about 10-15 minutes, or until they are cooked through and no longer doughy in the center.
