Ingredients

• 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 cup Skinless chicken breast, cooked and shredded
• 1.25 cups Warm water
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Parsley, dried
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2.25 teaspoons Yeast

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with olive oil or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix thoroughly to ensure an even distribution of all dry ingredients.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, combine the warm water, honey, and yeast. Let the mixture sit for about 5-10 minutes, or until it becomes foamy, indicating the yeast is active.

Step 4

In a third bowl, whisk the egg and add the olive oil. Mix until the mixture is smooth.

Step 5

Pour the yeast mixture and the egg-oil mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir until fully combined and a sticky dough forms.

Step 6

Fold in the shredded chicken, garlic powder, onion powder, parsley, and black pepper into the dough. Mix until the chicken and spices are evenly distributed.

Step 7

Transfer the dough into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly. Smooth out the top with a spatula or the back of a spoon.

Step 8

Cover the loaf pan with a clean kitchen towel and let it rest in a warm place for about 15-20 minutes. This allows the dough to rise slightly.

Step 9

Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 11

Enjoy the gluten-free chicken bread warm or at room temperature. It's perfect on its own or as a base for sandwiches.
