@crystalc.fit’s viral “Zero Carb Carnivore Bread”
Aka Chicken Bread
[534kcal, 63.2g protein for the whole mini loaf]
[so ~67kcal, 8g protein per “slice” but it’s a bit short]
—The Recipe—
I made exactly half a batch of the original to test out so:
- 225g ground chicken, cooked
- 3 eggs
- baking powder, baking soda, Italian herbs, salt
Followed her instructions exactly:
- Blend all in a blender
- Bake at ~400°F for ~30min until browned
—My Review—
First impressions were:
- Looks promising
- Smells like omelette
- Slices well
Texture:
- My crumb seemed a lot denser than hers, maybe more baking powder needed? Idk
- Frittata-y
Taste:
- Uh I think the biggest problem people will have is calling it “bread”
- If you think of it as “meatloaf/chicken omelette” you’d be much less disappointed
- Can taste the chicken & egg
- Not bad esp if u use spices, I added some curry powder too.
- Tasty for what it is! Just not bread
Overall thoughts:
easy to make, v few ingredients needed (I heard someone even used canned chicken and skipped the cooking chicken part)- zero carb
- high protein, higher than if it were just an egg frittata which is higher in fat
- sturdy enough to hold toppings
- brother’s review: “I quite liked it. I can see it being used for savoury stuff like an egg mayo sandwich but pls don’t use it for my PB&J”
a bit of a hassle bc I’m not a fan of cleaning the blender but that’s just me lol- tad dry but good with spreads on it
- not bread
Verdict: Nice to have an option like this if you’re doing keto/low carb (I’m not but I know some of you are, I gochuu). Also fun to just try out if you’re bored. Just don’t call it “bread” in your mind and you’ll be good.
