Ingredients
  

For the filling

  • 2 cup shredded chicken
  • 1 ½ cups frozen broccoli cooked and chopped
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • ½ medium onion chopped
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • ¼ cup Parmesan cheese grated
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the dough

Instructions
 

  • Add the cream cheese and mozzarella cheese to a medium, microwave-safe bowl. Heat for 30 second intervals, stirring at each interval, until completely combined.
  • Add almond flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, egg, garlic powder, Italian seasoning and salt to a medium sized bowl and mix well.
  • Add cheese mixture to almond flour mixture and combine well until it forms a thick dough.
  • Chill the dough for 30 minutes.
  • While the dough is chilling, melt butter in a skillet over medium heat.
  • Add the onions to the heated pan and saute until softened.
  • Stir in the garlic and saute for 30 seconds more or until fragrant.
  • Pour in the heavy whipping cream, salt and pepper to the heated pan and simmer until the mixture thickens.
  • Finally, add the broccoli, chicken and parmesan to the sauce. Stir until well combined. Remove from heat and let cool for a short while.
  • Roll the chilled dough out between two pieces of parchment paper. The dough should be about ¼ of an inch thick once rolled out.
  • Cut the dough into evenly sized rectangles.
  • Place a spoonful of filling on one half of each rectangle of dough.
  • Fold the other half of each rectangle of dough up over the chicken filling, and pinch the edges closed.
  • Crimp the edges of each pocket of dough with a fork.
  • Place the chicken and broccoli pockets onto a parchment lined baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes.
