Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cooked chicken, shredded
- 3 cups Unsweetened almond flour
- 3 large Eggs
- 1 medium Onion, finely diced
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Coconut oil
- 1 cup Low carb breadcrumbs or pork rinds, crushed
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, 2 cups of the almond flour, eggs, diced onion, garlic powder, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper.
Mix all the ingredients thoroughly until a cohesive mixture is formed.
Shape the mixture into croquettes, about the size of a golf ball, and then flatten slightly.
Place the remaining almond flour and crushed low-carb breadcrumbs or pork rinds in separate shallow bowls for coating.
Roll each chicken croquette first in the almond flour, ensuring an even coat, then dip it in the beaten egg, and finally dredge it in the low carb breadcrumbs or pork rinds.
Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Fry the croquettes in batches for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crisp.
Once cooked, remove the croquettes from the skillet and drain on paper towels.
Serve hot with your favorite low carb dipping sauce or a fresh garden salad.
