Ingredients

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast
3 egg whites
3 egg yolks
1/2 cup cream cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon olive oil
Garlic powder to taste
Onion powder to taste
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste
Optional: dried herbs (thyme or oregano)
Optional: nutritional yeast for dairy-free option
Optional: vegan cream cheese substitute for dairy-free option

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2: In a mixing bowl, beat 3 egg whites until stiff peaks form.
Step 3: In another bowl, mix together 3 egg yolks and 1/2 cup of cream cheese until smooth.
Step 4: Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the egg yolk and cream cheese mixture until fully combined.
Step 5: Spread the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, shaping it into rounds.
Step 6: Bake for 15-20 minutes until the rounds are golden and fluffy.
Step 7: While the cloud bread bakes, cut 1 pound of chicken breast into bite-sized pieces.
Step 8: Season the chicken with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper (and dried herbs if using).
Step 9: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Step 10: Cook the seasoned chicken in the skillet until no longer pink and golden, about 5-7 minutes.
Step 11: Stir in 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese and let it melt into the chicken.
Step 12: Once the cloud bread is done and the chicken mixture is ready, place a generous spoonful of chicken onto each cloud round.
Step 13: Fold the edges of the cloud bread over the filling to form a small pouch.
Step 14: Return the assembled Chicken Bombs to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes.
Step 15: Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving.
Step 16: Sprinkle extra Parmesan cheese or fresh herbs on top to enhance the flavor.

Tips & Variations

For a dairy-free version, substitute cream cheese with vegan cream cheese and Parmesan with nutritional yeast.
Adding fresh herbs like thyme or oregano to the chicken mix can elevate the flavor.
Ensure egg whites are beaten to stiff peaks for the lightest cloud bread texture.

Storage

Store leftover Chicken Bombs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes to keep the bread fluffy and the filling warm.
