Ingredients

Scale

Cloud Bread

  • 3 large eggs, separated
  • 3 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
  • Pinch of salt

Lemon Chicken

  • 1 lb chicken breast or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest (from about 1 lemon)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh herbs (such as parsley), chopped, to taste

Optional Fresh Veggies and Toppings

  • Chopped tomatoes
  • Sliced avocado
  • Fresh cilantro
  • Sliced red onions
  • Chili flakes

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cloud Bread: Separate the egg whites and yolks. Whip the egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form, creating the airy, cloud-like texture. In another bowl, mix the egg yolks with softened cream cheese until smooth. Gently fold the yolk mixture into the whipped egg whites, maintaining the fluffy texture.
  2. Bake the Cloud Bread: Spoon the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, forming 6 to 8 round discs about 4 inches wide. Bake at 300°F (150°C) for 25-30 minutes or until golden and dry to the touch. Allow to cool completely before handling.
  3. Cook the Lemon Chicken: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Add the chicken pieces, seasoning with salt, pepper, lemon zest, and a splash of lemon juice. Cook until golden and fully cooked through, about 7-8 minutes. Optionally, marinate the chicken with lemon, garlic, and herbs for 10 minutes beforehand for enhanced flavor.
  4. Assemble the Tacos: Place warm cloud bread rounds on plates. Top with lemon chicken, then add fresh herbs, sliced veggies, or any other desired toppings. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Whip egg whites thoroughly until stiff peaks form for the lightest cloud bread texture.
  • Use room-temperature cream cheese for smooth folding without lumps.
  • Bake cloud bread at a low temperature to avoid browning and maintain softness.
  • Marinate chicken briefly for better flavor absorption.
  • Add fresh lemon juice at the end to preserve its bright citrus flavor.
