Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Chicken breast
- 100 g Almond flour
- 50 g Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cup Onion, finely chopped
- 30 g Butter
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 50 ml Coconut oil
- 2 tbsp Parsley, fresh and chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Finely chop the chicken breast into small pieces or use a food processor to pulse it a few times until roughly chopped.
In a skillet over medium heat, melt 10g of butter and sauté the finely chopped onion until translucent, about 5 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped chicken, sautéed onions, almond flour, Parmesan cheese, egg, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a homogeneous mixture.
Shape the mixture into 8 small croquettes (about 60g each), ensuring they are compact to prevent them from breaking apart.
In another skillet, heat the coconut oil and remaining butter over medium heat until hot.
Gently place the croquettes in the skillet. Fry each side for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown.
Transfer the fried croquettes onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper and place them in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes to ensure they are cooked through.
Remove from oven and let them rest for a few minutes. Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve the croquettes warm with a side salad or your preferred keto-friendly dip.
