How to Make It
Step 1
Whisk together almond flour, baking powder, and salt in a mixing bowl to break up any lumps. Use a spoon or spatula to stir almond milk into the bowl. Melt the butter separately in a microwave or on your stovetop, then add it to the other ingredients in the bowl. Stir the ingredients together to make the dough for your dumplings. For now, store the mixture aside in your refrigerator uncovered.
Step 2
Prepare boneless, skinless chicken breast by rubbing the olive oil into the flesh. Season the chicken with salt and pepper, then begin heating a large saute pan on the stove over high heat. Cook the chicken on both sides until it turns dark golden brown. If the chicken breasts are thick, use a lid on your pan to help the chicken cook all the way through without burning.
Step 3
Remove the chicken from the pan and let it rest on a cutting board. Return the pan to your stove over low heat, and melt butter in the pan to deglaze it. Once the butter is melted and bubbling, whisk tapioca flour into the pan. Once the butter thickens, add frozen chopped green beans to the pan. Cover the pan and cook the green beans until they become tender.
Step 4
Stir all the remaining ingredients into the saute pan. Bring the heat to medium on the stove so the ingredients come to a simmer. While the pan is heating, slice or chop the chicken breast into small, bite-sized pieces. Add all the chicken to the saute pan and stir. Remove the bowl of dumpling dough from the refrigerator. Scoop the dough into 2-tablespoon portions and arrange them on top of the ingredients in the saute pan.
Step 5
Once all the dumplings are scooped, cover the pan again with a lid. Reduce the stove heat to the lowest setting while maintaining a simmer. Simmer the ingredients until the dumplings cook through – about 7-10 minutes. Once done cooking, you can scoop the chicken and dumplings into bowls or dishes for serving.
