Instructions:
- Prep the chicken: If you don’t have cooked chicken on hand, you can quickly cook chicken breasts or thighs, shred them, and let them cool before proceeding.
- Make the batter: In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cheese, almond flour, eggs, green onions, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until everything is evenly distributed. The mixture should be slightly sticky but firm enough to form fritters. If it’s too wet, add a little more almond flour.
- Heat the oil: In a large skillet, heat about 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.
- Shape the fritters: Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture and form small patties with your hands. Carefully place them in the skillet, flattening each one slightly.
- Cook the fritters: Fry the fritters for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. You may need to adjust the heat slightly to ensure they cook through without burning.
- Drain and serve: Once cooked, remove the fritters from the skillet and place them on a paper towel to drain excess oil. Serve warm with a dipping sauce of your choice, like ranch or a tangy mustard.
These fritters are perfect for a low-carb meal, and they’re packed with flavor from the cheese and chicken! You can also add spices like paprika or Italian seasoning for a twist. Would you like to try this with any particular side dish or dipping sauce?
