Low Carb Cream Cheese Chicken Bundles Are A Family Favorite
The original version of this recipes comes from my mother-in-law’s kitchen (she's got some great meals!). My husband grew up eating chicken bundles and this low carb chicken dinner is a favorite today because of it.
His mom even came to our home when we made these for the photos and showed me how to form them and bake them; this is a fun meal to make.
The first recipe I converted from her kitchen was the Surprise Cupcake recipe, and it was a smashing success! Many people have told me that it is their favorite low-carb cupcake recipe! It's certainly my favorite.
Another wonderful recipe from her kitchen is the Blueberry Coffee Cake with Cream Cheese. You should definitely give that a whirl for a low carb sweets recipe or a delicious brunch addition.
But back to the recipe at hand – these adorable little cheesy chicken bundles aren't difficult to make, and the taste – wow! That is a pop of dill flavor in the cream cheese filling just makes them so good.
This recipe makes six chicken bundles as written, but it's easy enough to double if you're serving it to a whole family or you want to make them ahead. Honestly, they're so good that you might need to triple it!
You can easily eat two per person and they reheat well.
How To Make Baked Chicken Bundles
This healthy chicken bundles recipe is very versatile; you can add any spices you like or keep it nice and simple.
I really like the simplicity of the celery, onion, and dill in the filling...the dill weed is what really makes these Low Carb Chicken Bundles! You can use dried or fresh dill, whatever you've got on hand.
I recently purchased freeze dried dill weed, and found that I much prefer that to the regular dried dill weed you can purchase in the store. Believe it or not, I got it in the spice area of my local Walmart.
Low Carb Chicken Bundle Recipe Ingredients
- Low Carb Stromboli Dough

- Plain Greek Yogurt

Low Carb Mozzarella Dough Tips
For the dough, you'll use mozzarella dough. That's the same dough used for Stromboli and Calzones and it's simple, doughy, and delish.
While the mozzarella dough recipe calls for THM Baking Blend, if you don't have it on hand or cannot have the oat fiber, there are still a couple of ways you can make this.
You can substitute almond flour for the Baking Blend completely, or use an equal mix of almond flour, flax meal, and coconut flour.
Chicken Bundle Recipe Variations
Remember, you can mix these up with different vegetables or spices inside; your creativity can really shine with this recipe.
You could make Mexican inspired cheesy chicken bundles by using taco seasoning, bell peppers, and onions or even adding in some jalapeños or easy avocado salsa.
Another yummy variation is to make low carb chicken bundles with a Mediterranean flair by using sun dried tomatoes, kalamata olives, and purple onions.
Buffalo chicken with celery is another yummy option.
Now you have no excuse not to make these low carb cream cheese chicken bundles for dinner this week. I have no doubt they will be a favorite in your home, too.
How To Serve Cheesy Chicken Bundles
Two of these chicken bundles and a side dish or two make the perfect dinner.
You could serve these creamy chicken bundles with a big side salad and a low carb vegetable, such as roasted green beans or Easy Oven Roasted Broccoli. Your kids may enjoy rice pilaf or cheesy cauliflower.
They are so simple to make and everyone loves them. And if your family really enjoys the idea “bundles” for dinner, be sure to try Low Carb Cheeseburger Buns next.

These look amazing! It's so wonderful that you could recreate a healthy version of this family recipe. I'll have to try it 🙂
I would definitely double the recipe - these would go so quickly in my house!!
in the chicken bundle recipe, do you mean a rib instead of a stalk. to me a stalk are all the rib combined.
Jim Tempe Az
Yes, ribs of celery. 🙂
Has anyone frozen these, raw? or otherwise:)
I personally have not, but I think they would freeze well.
Do you have the nutritional information figured out on these? These are getting made for dinner!whG3
No, I'm sorry. I just recently started adding macros to my recipes. 🙁
Which THM mix did you use? Amazon seems to have a couple to choose from (oat blend, super sweet, etc....)? Thanks!
I use the Baking Blend. However, you could use straight almond flour in this recipe and it would still turn out fine. 🙂
This was the first recipe I made from your site. I agree with the person that said double the recipe. My kids ate them up in no time at all. I really enjoy your non-dessert recipes (I don't like sweets, nothing against your recipes.)
Do you think these would turn out OK with that free cream cheese?
I'm assuming you mean fat free cream cheese? I probably would not use the fat free, but 1/3 less fat should still work just fine.
I made these on Super Bowl Sunday and they were a huge hit! And I had one leftover for lunch. Delicious!!
I keep seeing click the link for Recipe Stromboli Dough but where is the link?
I'm so sorry - I switched recipe card plug-ins and some things didn't convert properly. I have fixed the issue now. Thank you!
Could you use sausage meat in these?
I surely think so!
This looks so good... But, please show the calorie/carb. count since you designated them as low carb. I am struggling trying to find low cal and carb. recipes. Your posts all look so good. Thank you.
Hi Carolyn! I do include nutritional information on all of my posts now. Unfortunately, my older posts (older than a year) do not all have the nutrition info.
I understand you did not have the nutritional info a year ago since it was all new to you. Do you have the info now, if not how would we be able to calculate it, I have been on the keto diete since beg of February and I have lost around 30 lbs, every time I try the “low carbs” recipes that dont include the nutritional (Not just your recipes) value I get out of ketosis and I dont lose as much weight. Would you calibrate your recipe good to lose weight or to maintain your weight? And this recipe looks sooo delicious I would sooo like to be able to make it...
I appreciate your attention to macros! That is not always an easy task! I usually use My Fitness Pal to calculate nutritional information. I would consider this ok to have when trying to lose weight . . . there should not be anything in this recipe that would put you out of ketosis (that I know of).
Can these be made ahead and then re-heated? Or will they get soggy?
Yes, they can be made ahead. These reheat great!
These are wonderful! I did double the recipe.I added Zesty Garlic and sea salt to the chicken mixture. I rolled the dough between two pieces of parchment paper and then picked up the parchment paper and peeled the dough away to start the folding. These were actually pretty easy to make. I'm on Keto. I plan to try all kinds of other fillings. These are going to be a staple for me. I love to have things on hand to eat in a pinch (I forget to eat sometimes). This has lots of yummy fats to keep me satiated. Thank you for sharing!!! Blessings...
Absolutely fantastic. My dough was quite darker from the flax I used. I really, really don't like fathead dough so I didn't have high hopes for this, but I am so glad I gave it a try. I made a homemade version of the baking blend for the stromboli dough - that is going to be my new go-to dough for lots of things! I ran out of chicken mixture, so I put sliced pastrami & swiss in a few, topped with Everything Bagel seasoning, dipped in yellow mustard. I made a small batch of alfredo sauce for dipping the chicken bundles. Great recipe - I can think of so many fillings I want to try. Can't wait to make a sloppy joe one!
My dough was a little difficult to roll out because it wanted to fall apart. Maybe not mixed well enough? I did it by hand because I don't have the right food processor. Maybe a little more liquid, egg whites or some of the egg that you brush on the top before baking? I didn't use it all. Loved the dough still. Loved the bundles. Not as pretty as yours. 😀
Broke down and bought a bigger food processor, made a huge difference in making the dough. It held together ❤️
Made these for supper last night. They were good. Had them for lunch today and they were amazing! So much better reheated!
What can I sub for the Greek yogurt? Will sour cream work?
Yes, I think that would work.
Delicious meal! Thank you so much for all your recipes!
