Servings: 4
Prep time: 10 min
Cook time: 15–20 min

• 1 lb (450 g) chicken breast, finely chopped or ground

• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (or cheddar)

• 2 large eggs

• 1/4 cup almond flour (or coconut flour for nut-free option)

• 2 tbsp mayonnaise or sour cream (adds juiciness)

• 1 tsp garlic powder

• 1 tsp onion powder

• 1/2 tsp paprika (optional for color/flavor)

• Salt & pepper to taste

• 2 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil for frying

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Prepare the chicken mixture:
   In a mixing bowl, combine chopped chicken, shredded cheese, eggs, almond flour, mayo, and seasonings. Mix well until evenly combined.

2. Form fritters:
   Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the mixture and shape into small patties or fritters.

3. Heat the pan:
   Add oil to a large skillet over medium heat.

4. Cook fritters:
   Place fritters in the hot pan (don’t overcrowd). Cook for 3–4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through (internal temp 165°F / 74°C).

5. Drain & serve:
   Transfer to a paper towel–lined plate to remove excess oil.

🍽️ Serving Suggestions

• Serve with ranch, garlic aioli, or sugar-free ketchup.

• Pair with a side salad, cauliflower mash, or zucchini fries.

💡 Tips

• You can add chopped spinach or herbs for extra flavor.

• For baking instead of frying: bake at 400°F (200°C) for about 20 minutes, flipping halfway.
