Chicken and Cauliflower Rolls

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Cauliflower Dough:
  2. Preheat oven to 190°C (375°F).
  3. Steam or boil cauliflower florets for about 5-7 minutes until soft. Drain and pat very dry to remove excess moisture.
  4. In a food processor, pulse cauliflower until it resembles rice.
  5. Transfer to a clean towel or cheesecloth, and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. This is crucial for a good dough consistency.
  6. In a bowl, mix cauliflower, eggs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well combined.
  7. Make the Chicken Filling:
  8. In a bowl, mix shredded chicken, non-fat Greek yogurt, oregano, paprika, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and shredded mozzarella until creamy.
  9. Assemble and Bake:
  10. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  11. Take a small portion of cauliflower dough, flatten it into a circle, and place 1-2 tablespoons of the chicken filling in the center.
  12. Roll or fold the dough over the filling to form a ball or small roll.
  13. Place rolls on the baking sheet.
  14. If you have any remaining cheese for topping, you may lightly sprinkle it on top.
  15. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
  16. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm.

Notes

  1. Cauliflower, chicken breast (skinless), eggs, non-fat Greek yogurt, herbs, and spices are all excellent, low-calorie ingredients.
  2. The Parmesan and mozzarella cheese will contribute to your daily calorie and fat intake.
  3. Carefully measure the amounts to fit your personal dietary goals.
  4. Using non-fat Greek yogurt helps keep the fat content lower compared to using cream cheese.
  5. By carefully measuring the cheese, you can manage its contribution to your overall intake.

Tips

  1. Squeeze out as much moisture as possible from the cauliflower to prevent a soggy dough.
  2. Use cooked chicken breast without the skin. Rotisserie chicken is fine, but remove the skin.
  3. Always check your own nutritional guidelines, as rules for various plans can change.
  4. By following these guidelines, you can enjoy these chicken and cauliflower rolls while staying on track with your healthy eating plan.
