Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups cooked shredded chicken ≈420 g
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar ≈113 g
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan ≈50 g
  • 2 large eggs beaten
  • ½ cup almond flour ≈56 g
  • 2 tbsp olive oil for frying
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tbsp chopped parsley or chives
  • 1 tsp onion powder ½ tsp smoked paprika, salt & black pepper to taste
  • Optional: 1–2 tbsp psyllium husk for firmer texture; 1 small diced jalapeño

Method
 

  1. Combine shredded chicken, cheddar, Parmesan, almond flour, garlic, parsley, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt and pepper in a large bowl.
  2. Add beaten eggs and (optional) psyllium; mix until evenly combined. Test a small amount — it should hold when pressed. Adjust with a little more almond flour (if wet) or a teaspoon of water (if dry).
  3. Divide into 12 equal portions; shape into patties about 2–2.5 inches wide and ½ inch thick.
  4. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium. Fry fritters in batches for 3–4 minutes per side until golden and cheese is melted. Drain briefly on paper towels. OR bake at 400°F for 10–12 minutes, flip, bake another 8–12 minutes until golden.
  5. Serve warm with your favorite keto dipping sauce and a squeeze of lemon or lime.
