Keto Chicken Patties are a flavorful, protein-packed dish perfect for anyone following a low-carb lifestyle. Juicy, tender, and perfectly seasoned, these patties are made from ground chicken mixed with herbs, spices, and just enough cheese and almond flour to hold everything together. They cook up golden and crisp on the outside, while staying moist and flavorful inside. Ideal for meal prep, quick lunches, or a hearty dinner, these patties prove that healthy eating can be both satisfying and delicious.

The beauty of this recipe lies in its versatility and simplicity. Ground chicken acts as a blank canvas, ready to soak up your favorite seasonings—whether you prefer a garlicky, herbed flavor or something a bit spicier. Almond flour keeps the mixture keto-friendly, while shredded cheese adds richness and helps bind the patties. A touch of mayonnaise or sour cream ensures moisture, preventing the patties from drying out during cooking. You can pan-fry them for a crisp, golden crust or bake them for a lighter option without sacrificing taste.

Serve these Keto Chicken Patties with a side of sautéed vegetables, a crisp salad, or even as a low-carb “burger” on lettuce wraps or keto buns. They’re excellent for freezing and reheating, making them perfect for batch cooking. Each bite offers a delicious balance of savory flavor, juicy texture, and satisfying comfort—all while keeping carbs to a minimum.

Keto Chicken Patties Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 lb (450 g) ground chicken

• ¼ cup almond flour

• ¼ cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese

• 2 tbsp mayonnaise or sour cream

• 1 large egg

• 1 clove garlic, minced

• 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (or 1 tsp dried)

• ½ tsp onion powder

• ½ tsp paprika

• Salt and pepper, to taste

• 1–2 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil (for frying)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the mixture: In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, almond flour, cheese, mayonnaise, egg, garlic, parsley, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until fully combined.

2. Form patties: Divide the mixture into 6–8 equal portions and shape into round patties (about ½ inch thick).

   • Baking option: Place patties on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 18–20 minutes, flipping halfway through.

4. Serve: Enjoy hot with a dollop of sugar-free ketchup, garlic aioli, or a keto dipping sauce.

Optional Add-Ons:

• Add finely chopped spinach, jalapeños, or green onions for extra flavor and texture.

• Mix in a tablespoon of grated Parmesan for a savory kick.

• Top with a slice of cheese and serve with avocado or a fried egg for a complete meal.
