Ingredients

1 1/2 lb (700g) skinless, boneless, high-protein chicken breast, finely diced
2 medium eggs
1/3 cup almond flour or coconut flour
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
3 jalapeño peppers, seeded and finely diced
1 spring onion, sliced (plus extra for garnish)
2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
A pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil (for frying)

Directions

Prepare the Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the diced chicken, almond (or coconut) flour, eggs, mozzarella, Parmesan (if using), spring onion, jalapeño, parsley, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
Shape the Fritters: Heat olive oil in a large non-stick pan over medium-low heat. Using an ice cream scoop or large spoon, scoop portions of the chicken mixture into the pan. Flatten slightly with the back of the spoon to form fritters.
Cook the Fritters: Fry the fritters in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Cook each fritter for 6-8 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Maintain medium-low heat to ensure the fritters cook evenly without burning.
Serve and Garnish: Once cooked, garnish the fritters with additional sliced spring onion. Serve immediately with your favorite dip, such as mayonnaise, chipotle aioli, Sriracha, ketchup, or other low-carb dips and healthy dipping sauces. Enjoy!
