Instructions:

1. Prepare the Chicken Filling:
   • In a bowl, mix the shredded chicken with BBQ sauce until well combined.
   • Stir in shredded cheddar cheese, red onion, cilantro, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
2. Make the Dough:
   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
   • In a large bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, Parmesan cheese, baking powder, and salt.
   • Add melted butter and egg to the dry ingredients, mixing until a dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, you can chill it in the refrigerator for about 10-15 minutes to make it easier to work with.
3. Assemble the Braid:
   • Place the dough between two pieces of parchment paper and roll it out into a rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.
   • Remove the top piece of parchment paper and transfer the dough to your prepared baking sheet.
   • Cut strips about 1 inch wide along both long sides of the rectangle, leaving the center portion intact for the filling.
   • Spread the BBQ chicken mixture evenly down the center of the dough.
   • Fold the strips of dough over the filling, alternating sides to create a braid pattern. Pinch the ends to seal.
4. Bake:
   • Brush the top of the braid with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
   • Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and the filling is heated through.
5. Serve:
   • Allow the braid to cool slightly before slicing. Optionally, sprinkle extra shredded cheese on top while it’s still warm.

Enjoy your keto BBQ chicken braid! It’s great on its own or served with a side salad or some roasted veggies.
