DURATION:

Prep Time: 10 minutes | Cook Time: 20 minutes | Total Time: 30 minutes | Servings: 4 | Calories: 397kcal

INGREDIENTS:

• 5 lb (700g) skinless boneless chicken breast
• 2 medium eggs
• 1/3 cup almond flour
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 2 Tbsp fresh basil – finely chopped
• 2 Tbsp chives – chopped
• 2 Tbsp parsley – chopped
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• a pinch of sea salt and fresh ground black pepper – or to taste
• 1 Tbps olive oil – or more to fry

INSTRUCTIONS:

• Place the chicken breast on a chopping board and using a sharp knife, chop it into tiny pieces, then place them in a large mixing bowl.
• Into the large bowl, stir in almond flour, eggs, mozzarella, basil, chives, parsley, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine.
• Heat oil in a large non-stick pan, over medium-low heat. With an ice cream scoop or a large spoon, scoop into the chicken mixture and transfer it to the pan, then slightly flatten to create a fritter. Don’t overcrowd the pan, cook the fritters in batches, about 4 per batch.
• Fry until golden brown on both sides, about 6-8 minutes. Keep in mind that you need to cook them at medium-low temp, otherwise they will burn on the outside but won’t get well cooked on the inside.
• Serve with your favorite dip and enjoy!
