Ingredients:

1 1/2 lb (700g) skinless, boneless 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 + extra for garnish
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
A pinch of salt
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil, for frying

Directions:

In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced chicken, almond flour, eggs, shredded mozzarella, Parmesan (if using), spring onion, chopped jalapeños, parsley, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until everything is evenly incorporated.
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick pan over medium-low heat.
Using a spoon or an ice cream scoop, scoop small portions of the chicken mixture and drop them into the hot pan. Gently flatten each portion to form a fritter shape.
Cook the fritters in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan, ensuring they cook evenly. Fry each fritter for about 6-8 minutes, turning them halfway through, until they are golden brown on both sides. Be sure to keep the heat on medium-low to avoid burning the outside while ensuring the chicken is fully cooked inside.
Once cooked, remove from the pan and set on a paper towel to absorb any excess oil. Garnish with extra sliced spring onion before serving.
Serve immediately with your choice of dipping sauces like mayonnaise, chipotle aioli, Sriracha, or even ketchup. Enjoy!

These Cheesy Chicken Fritters are not only delicious but also easy to make ahead for meal prepping throughout the week. They’re a great way to add a tasty and filling protein option to your menu.
