Ingredients

  • 3 large eggs
  • ½ tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon whole psyllium husks
  • 2.5 .5 ounces lettuce iceberg or romaine, see notes below for substitutions
  • 6 ounces cooked chicken breasts (or turkey) about one cup, chopped
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
Optional, for flavor:
  • 1 tablespoon chopped leek
  • 1 garlic clove

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Place all ingredients in the blender, starting with the liquids: 3 large eggs, 1/2 tablespoon olive oil, 1 tablespoon whole psyllium husks, 2.5 ounces lettuce, 6 ounces cooked chicken breasts, 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  2. Blend on high until the chicken is completely pureed. If you see powders sticking to the sides of the pitcher, stop the blender for a moment to scrape them away with a spatula and blend it again to incorporate. When ready the batter should be completely smooth, to get the best bread crumb texture.
  3. Pour the bread batter on buttered loaf pans, and bake on a preheated oven at 365 °F / 185 °C for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the loaves are golden.

Notes

  • I made this in 2 mini loaf pans (5"x3"), and each bread weighted 6 oz / 170 grams. You can bake this in one medium loaf pan, or you can easily double the recipe to make a larger sandwich loaf. You'll need to extend the baking time accordingly.
  • You can use veggies other than lettuce, like cauliflower, cabbage or zucchini. The color, flavor and texture of the bread will vary. Please see post for ideas.
  • Make sure the Parmesan is the dry, powdery one (Kraft style). Do not substitute for other cheese.
  • Keep leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 3 days.
