The recipe:
- 1 can of chicken
- 1 can of spinach
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella
- 1 cup shredded parmesan
- 1 egg
- half cup coconut flour
- half tablespoon of salt
- a bunch of garlic powder
- a bunch of onion powder
- a little bit of cayenne
- a bunch of black pepper
I’m guessing on the salt content but I need those damn electrolytes to replace from all the peeing and ditch keto flu headaches. I drained the spinach and canned chicken but there was still a lot of water content so next time I’ll dry the spinach. I baked at 375 degrees for 15 minutes and it wasn’t crispy, so I ended up putting it in and checking every 10-15 minutes until it was more like a crust, which took about 45 minutes. So my recipe definitely needs tweaking, I think i’ll try it again with more egg and dry out the spinach like I said above. Maybe I’ll do that today, I’m hungry.
Ok it wasn’t a failure, I just wasn’t blown away by it. I was hype about the idea of something else besides low carb flatbreads or cheese crusts, so I modified a recipe I found on the World Wide Web and added coconut flour (because that’s all I had) and egg (because egg is in fathead dough so egg + cheese = good texture). Plus, the egg adds much needed fat. Anywho, I said I would post the recipe first because I hate reading someone’s life story before they post a recipe and I didn’t want y’all to endure that 🙂

[…] just a product of that. I cooked a lot this week, some good: grilled chicken thighs, some mediocre: canned chicken crust monstrosity. Ok, it’s not a monstrosity but it wasn’t amazing by any means, maybe I’ll tweak […]
