Ingredients

  • 1 lb chicken breast, boneless and skinless 4 cups collard greens, roughly chopped 2 cups kale, roughly chopped 1 cup broccoli florets 1 cup red bell pepper, diced 1/2 cup green onions, thinly sliced 1/2 cup almond flour 2 tablespoons coconut flour 1 teaspoon garlic powder 1 teaspoon onion powder Salt and pepper, to taste 3 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the chicken breast, almond flour, coconut flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until the chicken is evenly coated.
  3. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced red bell pepper and cook for 2 3 minutes or until slightly softened. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil and sauté the collard greens and kale until wilted. Stir in the broccoli florets and cook for an additional 2 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and set aside.
  5. Lay a collard green leaf on a flat surface and place the cooked chicken mixture in the center. Top with sautéed vegetables, leaving room at the edges to fold the leaf into a tight roll. Roll up the collard green leaf tightly and transfer to the prepared baking sheet, seam side down. Repeat with remaining ingredients to make 4 rolls.
  6. Brush the rolls with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and season with salt and pepper to taste. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 30 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Allow the rolls to cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Chef’s Insight

The combination of collard greens, kale, and broccoli provides a fiber-rich base for this keto dish while the almond and coconut flours help create a satisfying crust around the tender chicken.
