Ingredients:
1 lb ground chicken (you can also use turkey)
1/2 cup almond flour (to keep it low-carb)
1 large egg
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup chopped green onions (optional)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tbsp olive oil (for frying)
Instructions:
Mix the Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, almond flour, egg, Parmesan cheese, green onions, garlic, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix everything thoroughly until well combined. The mixture should be slightly sticky but firm enough to shape into patties.
Form the Patties: Using your hands, shape the chicken mixture into patties, about 3-4 inches in diameter, depending on your preference.
Cook the Patties: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the chicken patties to the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. You may need to do this in batches depending on the size of your pan. Check that the internal temperature of the patties reaches 165°F to ensure they are fully cooked.
Serve and Enjoy: Once cooked, remove the patties from the skillet and let them rest for a couple of minutes. Serve these low-carb chicken patties with your favorite low-carb dipping sauce or a simple side salad for a complete meal.
