    These keto chicken dumplings are flourless and flavoured with ginger and chilli for a quick and easy chicken dish. They are also gluten free, egg free and low carb.

    This is a simple yet tasty keto chicken recipe that can be made a few hours ahead, ready for when you want to cook them. Although they have no low carb flour in them, the chilling time helps to keep their shape, so they don’t fall apart when cooking.

    Ginger and chilli are a great flavour combination for chicken and any Asian influenced recipes.  Perhaps try these with lemon grass or substitute the chicken with pork.

    HOW TO MAKE KETO CHICKEN DUMPLINGS

    Steaming the chicken dumplings keeps them moist and enhances the flavours of the ginger and garlic. However, you can also pan fry them or bake them in the oven. This would give a slight golden colour to the chicken dumplings. Another alternative is to quickly sear them in a pan for a golden colour then to steam them. That way you have a slightly firmer texture but a moist chicken dumpling,

    HOW TO SERVE KETO CHICKEN DUMPLINGS

    Although these would be a tasty appetiser by themselves with a side of dipping sauce, they make a substantial main dish if you serve them keto noodles, cauliflower rice or stir-fried vegetables.

      Made this tonight at the request of my daughter, who is currently watching her salt intake. Easy to make and healthy, but I think it cries out for added sautéed garlic, and really needs some salt or something salty like fish sauce added. If you add a little grape seed/avocado or other healthy oil, you can skip the refrigeration as the dumplings hold together just fine. Thanks for the recipe.

      This recipe sounds test, but I’m confused as to how the meatballs turned out browned, if they were just steam cooked. Is part of the recipe missing? Also, how much in cups is 300g of chicken?

      I invented chicken meatballs like this before too but not with the ginger & coriander added! I will make them tonight & serve them with an Asian twist & noodles!
