Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cooked chicken breast
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.25 cup Coconut flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Onion
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Parsley
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Coconut oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
Instructions
Finely chop the cooked chicken breast into small pieces using a food processor or knife.
Mince the onion and garlic finely.
In a large bowl, combine the chopped chicken, onion, garlic, parsley, almond flour, and coconut flour.
Beat the eggs in a separate bowl and add them to the chicken mixture. Mix until well combined.
Season with salt, pepper, and paprika. Mix thoroughly to ensure even seasoning throughout the mixture.
Shape the mixture into small patties or logs, about 2 inches in diameter.
Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the croquettes in the skillet, making sure they do not touch each other.
Cook each side for about 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove the croquettes from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.
Serve warm with your choice of Paleo-friendly dipping sauce or side.
