Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds skinless boneless chicken breast OR 1 1/2 pounds ground chicken
- 2 medium eggs
- 1/3 c almond flour
- 1/2 c shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 c shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 Tbsp fresh basil finely chopped OR 1 Tbsp dried
- 2 Tbsp fresh chives finely chopped, OR 1 Tbsp dried
- 2 Tbsp fresh parsley finely chopped, OR 1 Tbsp dried
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- a pinch of sea salt
- freshly ground pepper to taste
- Coconut oil to fry the patties in
Instructions
- To start with, if you are using the whole chicken breasts, chop the chicken up into very small pieces.
- Put the chopped or ground chicken into a large mixing bowl. Now mix in everything else except the coconut oil. Make sure that it is well combined, especially the eggs since that's what holds everything together.
- Heat the coconut oil in a large frying pan over medium low heat. You need to cook theses patties at medium low because you have to make sure the inside cooks before the outside burns.
- Once the pan has heated, scoop out some of the chicken mixture and put it in the pan. Flatten it out a little so it's in a patty shape. You can use a couple of spoons to scoop or and ice cream scoop.
- Make sure you don't crowd the pan. I usually cook 4 at a time.
- Fry the patties until they are golden brown on both sides. That will take about 6-8 minutes on each side. If they are browning too quickly, turn the heat down some more.
- After they are done, put them on a double layer of paper towels to blot any excess oil.
- Continue frying the patties in batches until all of the mixture is cooked.
