What You’ll Need
Servings: 4 servings
Calories: 280kcal
Ingredients
- 1 lb cooked chicken shredded or finely chopped
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite keto cheese)
- 2 large eggs
- 2 green onions finely chopped
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley chopped
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp olive oil or butter (for frying)
Instructions
- Prepare the fritter mixture: In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, almond flour, shredded cheddar cheese, eggs, green onions, parsley, garlic powder, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Form the fritters: Using your hands or a spoon, form the mixture into small patties (about 2- 3 inches in diameter).
- Cook the fritters: Heat the olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken fritters in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Drain and serve: Once cooked, transfer the fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite keto-friendly dipping sauce, like garlic aioli or sour cream.
