Ingredients:
For the Chicken Patties:
1 lb (450g) ground chicken: Opt for higher fat content for rich flavor.
1/4 cup almond flour: A keto-friendly substitute for breadcrumbs.
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese: Adds cheesy flavor and helps bind the patties.
1 large egg: Provides moisture and binds the mixture.
2 cloves garlic, minced: Fresh garlic adds a delicious aroma.
1/2 teaspoon onion powder: For added flavor depth.
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika: Brings a smoky twist.
1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs: A blend of oregano, basil, and thyme for an herbaceous touch.
Salt and pepper to taste: Essential seasonings.
2 tablespoons olive oil or coconut oil: For frying.
Instructions:
Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients
Organize your ingredients for a smooth cooking process. Fresh herbs or veggies should be washed and prepped. Using ground chicken ensures tender, high-protein patties.
Step 2: Mix the Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine:
Ground chicken
Almond flour
Parmesan cheese
Egg
Minced garlic
Onion powder
Smoked paprika
Dried Italian herbs
Salt and pepper
Mix thoroughly using your hands, but avoid overmixing to keep the patties tender.
Step 3: Shape the Patties
Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape them into patties about 1/2 inch thick. This size ensures even cooking.
Step 4: Heat the Oil
Heat olive or coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. The oil should be hot but not smoking, perfect for creating a golden-brown crust.
Step 5: Cook the Patties
Add the patties to the skillet without overcrowding. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side or until golden brown and fully cooked. Use a meat thermometer to ensure an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Step 6: Drain and Serve
Transfer cooked patties to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.
Serving Suggestions
With Dipping Sauces: Pair with sugar-free ranch or keto-friendly aioli.
Over a Salad: Top a fresh salad for a satisfying low-carb meal.
In Lettuce Wraps: Create a keto sandwich with lettuce, avocado, and sliced tomatoes.
