Keto Chicken Fritters - Cookingwithdia

Ingredients

1 pound skinless, boneless chicken thighs, cut into halves

½ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon paprika

¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

¼ teaspoon garlic powder

½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese

2 tablespoons mayonnaise

1egg, lightly beaten

2green onions, minced

2 tablespoons plain unsweetened protein powder (such as Isopure®)

2 tablespoons olive oil, divided

Directions

Step 1

Combine chicken pieces, salt, paprika, pepper, and garlic powder in the bowl of a food processor; pulse until meat is coarsely chopped into 1/4- to 1/2-inch pieces. Do not over process.

Step 2

Transfer chicken mixture to a bowl. Add mozzarella cheese, mayonnaise, egg, and green onions; mix to combine. Sprinkle protein powder on top and mix together until evenly combined. Set aside for flavors to blend, 20 to 30 minutes; the mixture will be wet.

Step 3

Preheat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.Use a 1/4-cup measuring cup to scoop 4 slightly heaping portions into the skillet. Press down on each fritter slightly to form a small patty.Cook until no longer pink in the center and fritters are golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Step 4

Remove fritters and drain on a paper towel-lined plate; keep warm. Repeat with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and chicken mixture. Serve immediately.
