Recipe Steps

steps 8

45 min

  • Step 1

    Preheat an oven to 375 degrees and line a sheet tray with aluminum foil and pan spray (you may use parchment paper, but aluminum foil helps the chicken dumplings brown better during cooking). Pat your chicken breasts dry, then combine them with the first amount of cauliflower, parmesan, first amounts of salt and pepper, the oregano, and onion powder. Pulse in the food processor until smooth and bound together.
    Step 1
  • Step 2

    Divide the chicken dumpling mixture into 8 portions and roll them into balls, placing each one on your sheet tray. The dumplings will be about 2 inches to 2 ½ inches across.
    Step 2
  • Step 3

    Bake the dumplings for 35 minutes, flipping them halfway through for even browning.
    Step 3
  • Step 4

    While the dumplings are baking, make your soup! Heat the olive oil in the bottom of a large pot over high heat with the chopped garlic cloves. Cook the garlic until it is fragrant and lightly browned.
    Step 4
  • Step 5

    Pour in the chicken broth. Place the lid on the pot, and bring the broth to a boil. Then, add the second amount of cauliflower into the broth. Break the cauliflower up into rough florets before adding.
    Step 5
  • Step 6

    Return the lid, and cook the cauliflower on a strong simmer for 7-10 minutes - until the cauliflower is soft and can be broken apart easily. Then, remove the pot from the heat and use an immersion blender to blend the cauliflower into a creamy soup broth. Blend in the ricotta next.
    Step 6
  • Step 7

    Return the soup pot to a medium-high heat. Stir in the remaining ingredients. Let the soup simmer openly for about 5 minutes to reduce slightly.
  • Step 8

    For serving, place 2 cooked chicken dumplings in a bowl, then top it off with 1 cup of the soup. You may garnish your soup with parsley, more lemon juice, cream, or parmesan cheese - whatever keto garnishes you think would taste best! Break your dumplings up with a spoon and let them soak in the creamy broth while hot!
    Step 8

    So I just made the meatballs, and 35 min is WAY too long. Check it at 15 min and then add 5 incrementally from there. Could be great. But it was so so dry. Also consider adding a fat into the mix like coconut oil, meatballs are good because they’re fatty, with this lean chicken mix it was real dry. Gonna try again. I’ll add a 1/4 cup coconut oil and reduce cooking time.
