Cheesy Chicken Bombs

[4 Servings: 1 Lean, 1 Green, 1 Condiment, 2 Fat]
For the Dough:
  • 1-1/2 cup mashed cauliflower (3 Green)
  • 6 ounces low-fat mozzarella cheese (1 Leaner)
  • 7 ounces cooked 98% Fat free chicken (1 Leanest)
  • 6 wedges Light Laughing Cow cheese OR 6 Tablespoons light cream cheese (3 Fat)
  • 1 egg (1/3 Lean)
  • 1/4 cup chopped Green onions (1/2 Green)
  • 4-1/2 Tablespoon almond flour (3 Fat)
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian Seasoning (1 Condiment)

For Chicken filling:
  • 7 ounces Cooked Tyson's 98 % Fat-free chicken breast OR Swanson's Premium white chicken, canned  (1 Leanest)
  • 4 Wedges Light Laughing Cow Cheese OR 2 Tablespoons light cream cheese (2 Fat)
  • 4 ounces low-fat cheese (2/3 Leaner)
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic (1 Condiment)
  • 1/4 cup scallions, chopped (1/2 Green)
  • Pinch Pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt (1 Condiment)
  • 1 Tablespoon fresh dill (1/16 Condiment)

Top each bomb with a pinch of Parmesan cheese.
  • 4 Tablespoons Reduced-fat Parmesan, Shredded (2 Condiments)*This would count as 4 Condiment if regular parmesan cheese is used.
~Steam Cauliflower for 5 minutes then mash. Squeeze all extra water as much as possible; set aside.
~In microwaveable container, melt shredded cheese and cream cheese for dough until completely melted.
~Using a food processor dough blade, combine melted cheese mixture with egg, Cauliflower, chicken, almond flour and Italian seasoning. Process until dough is combined and starts to hold together a bit.
~Using half the dough, drop "1 Tablespoon " of dough, spaced apart, on parchment paper to equal 16 discs. Spread each out a bit to make a 1-1/2 inch circle. Form a well in center of each disc.
~Make filling by combining ingredients in a mixing bowl until creamy.
~Drop a scoop of filling into the center of each of the 16 disc centers. Drop 1 Tablespoon of dough on top and carefully seal edges and mold to hold filling in. (If you make more than 16 completed bombs just divide the final amount into 4 even portions)
~Move parchment paper of bombs to a baking sheet, Sprinkle each bomb with parmesan cheese
~Bake at 400 F for 25 minutes, or until tops are golden brown.

Optional Serving Ideas:
  1. Serve each with 1/4 cup Rao's sauce for a ravioli type meal (You will need 1 additional Green in your day) 
  2. Serve by themselves and have a side of veggie soup or roasted veggies (2 Green).
  3. Serve with 1 Tablespoon SF BBQ Sauce and Jicama or Kabocha Fries.
