Ingredients:

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup almond flour
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, for frying
  • Lemon wedges for serving (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Begin by preparing the chicken. Dice the boneless, skinless chicken breasts into small pieces and set aside.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced chicken, shredded mozzarella cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, almond flour, minced garlic, chopped fresh parsley, dried oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well combined.
  3. In a separate small bowl, lightly beat the eggs.
  4. Pour the beaten eggs over the chicken mixture and stir until everything is evenly coated and the mixture holds together.
  5. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  6. Using a spoon or your hands, scoop out portions of the chicken mixture and shape them into small patties or fritters, about 2 inches in diameter.
  7. Carefully place the fritters in the hot skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
  8. Cook the fritters for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  9. Once cooked, transfer the fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
  10. Repeat the process with the remaining chicken mixture, adding more olive oil to the skillet as needed.
  11. Serve the Low-Carb Cheesy Chicken Fritters hot, garnished with fresh parsley and lemon wedges if desired.
  12. Enjoy the irresistible combination of flavors and textures!
