Chicken Cheese & Herb Scones

These Keto Chicken, Cheese, & Herb Scones are a tasty, savory treat ideal for anyone on a low-carb or keto diet. These scones are a great choice for breakfast, a snack, or a side dish because they are loaded with protein from the chicken and cheese and flavor from the fresh herbs. They are gluten-free and keto-friendly since almond flour is used in place of regular wheat flour. They have a soft, moist texture from the addition of sour cream and melted butter, and their flavor is enhanced by the combination of garlic, onion, and herbs. These scones are a great option because they are low in carbohydrates, high in healthy fats, and include a good amount of protein for those seeking a healthy, delicious, and low-carb snack.

INGREDIENTS NOTES:

CHICKEN:

• We can use any cooked chicken, including rotisserie, grilled, or poached chicken. We have to shred the chicken to ensure that the chicken is equally spread all over the scones.

CHEESE:

• We have to try using other kinds of cheese, such as mozzarella, Gouda, or Parmesan, although shredded cheddar is the most common option for a variety of taste profiles.

ALMOND FLOUR:

• Almond flour serves as the dough’s foundation and keeps the scones low in carbohydrates. We can use blanched almond flour for the best texture, which is lighter and finer than other types of almond flour.

FRESH HERBS:

• The scones get a great flavor boost from fresh herbs like thyme, parsley, and chives. You can use dried herbs instead, but use just around 1 teaspoon of each herb.

GREEK YOGURT:

• Greek yogurt or sour cream provides richness and moisture to these scones. We can also use coconut yogurt or any other dairy-free yogurt to make these scones dairy-free.
