Ingredients

Scale

For the Lemon Chicken Filling

  • 2 chicken breasts, lean and juicy
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon mixed herbs (such as thyme, oregano, or parsley)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste

For the Cloud Bread

  • 3 large eggs, separated (room temperature recommended)
  • 3 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • Pinch of salt

Optional Toppings and Garnishes

  • Fresh greens (lettuce, spinach, or arugula)
  • Thinly sliced onions
  • Diced cucumbers
  • Radishes, sliced
  • Avocado or creamy avocado sauce
  • Chopped cilantro, parsley, or basil
  • Yogurt or garlic sauce drizzle
  • Crumbled feta cheese (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Marinate the chicken breasts with fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, herbs, salt, and pepper. Let the mixture sit for at least 20 minutes to absorb the vibrant flavors. Cook the chicken over medium heat until tender and juicy, then set aside.
  2. Make the Cloud Bread Batter: Separate the egg whites and yolks carefully. Whisk the egg whites with a pinch of salt and baking powder until stiff peaks form. In a separate bowl, beat the yolks together with softened cream cheese until the mixture is smooth. Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the yolk mixture, taking care not to deflate the airy texture essential for fluffy cloud bread.
  3. Bake the Cloud Breads: Spoon the fluffy batter onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, forming small round shapes suitable for tacos. Bake at 300°F (150°C) for 25 to 30 minutes until the cloud breads are golden on the outside and set yet still soft and airy inside.
  4. Assemble Your Tacos: Slice the cooked lemon chicken and nestle the pieces inside each cloud bread round. Add any desired toppings such as fresh greens, sliced onions, diced cucumbers, radishes, avocado sauce, or herbs to enhance flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use room temperature eggs for better volume when whipping egg whites.
  • Fold the egg whites gently into the yolks to maintain the cloud bread’s airy texture.
  • Do not overbake the cloud bread to keep it soft and fluffy.
  • Marinate the chicken thoroughly for more intense lemon and herb flavor.
  • Use fresh lemons for the best bright and natural citrus taste.
