Begin by boiling the chicken breast in a pot with water until fully cooked, about 15 minutes. Remove from pot, allow to cool slightly, then shred the chicken using two forks.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and sauté until they are soft and slightly browned, about 5 minutes.
Add the shredded chicken to the skillet and mix thoroughly with the mushrooms. Pour in the heavy cream, stirring continuously, and cook until the mixture thickens, about 5 minutes.
Season the filling with salt, black pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder. Stir well and remove from heat. Let the filling cool completely.
In a shallow dish, combine almond flour and psyllium husk powder. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs.
Once the filling is cool, shape it into small logs (around 50 grams each). You should make approximately 8 kroketten.
Dip each chicken log into the egg mixture, then roll it in the almond flour mixture to coat well.
Heat olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Carefully place the coated kroketten into the pan, frying them until golden-brown on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Transfer the fried kroketten to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil before serving.
Serve the Keto Dutch Kroketten warm, perhaps with a side of mustard for extra flavor.
