Ingredients

• Chicken breast - 200 grams, cooked and shredded
• Almond flour - 50 grams
• Egg - 1 large
• Onion - 50 grams, finely chopped
• Garlic - 1 clove, minced
• Cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Cinnamon - 1/2 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1/2 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Olive oil - for frying

Steps

1. In a pan over medium heat, add a tablespoon of olive oil and sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic until translucent.
2. Add the shredded chicken, cumin, cinnamon, paprika, salt, black pepper, and parsley to the pan. Mix well and cook for another 5 minutes until heated through.
3. Remove the mixture from the heat and let it cool slightly. Stir in the almond flour and beaten egg until well combined.
4. Take a small piece of low-carb dough (you can use a low-carb tortilla or dough alternative) and place a tablespoon of filling in the center.
