Ingredients
- 1 ½ lb chicken breast
- 1 large egg
- ⅓ cup almond flour
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- ¼ cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 spring onions
- 2 tablespoons parsley
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Prepare the Chicken Fritters
- Place the chicken in a food processor and blitz until you have finely chopped chicken.
- In a large bowl, combine the chopped chicken, mozzarella cheese, parmesan cheese, eggs, almond flour, green onions, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well combined.
- Scoop about 3 to 4 tablespoons of the mixture and form it into small patties or fritters with your hands. (I wear gloves when doing this)
Fry
- In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Place the formed fritters in the hot oil and fry for about 4-6 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove the fritters from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Air Fry
- Preheat the air fryer for 5 minutes as per the manufacturer's instructions.
- Lightly spray the air fryer basket with olive oil spray to prevent sticking.
- Place the fritters in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not touching. You may need to cook them in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
- Cook the fritters at 375°F (190°C) for 8-10 minutes. Flip them halfway through the cooking time to ensure even browning and crispiness.
- The fritters should be golden brown and cooked through. You can check by inserting a meat thermometer into the center; it should read at least 165°F (74°C).
- Remove the fritters from the air fryer and serve hot with your favorite keto-friendly dipping sauce or a side salad.
