In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the ghee and sauté the chopped onion until translucent.
Add the shredded chicken to the skillet and stir well to combine with the onions. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Mix the chicken broth and 4 tablespoons of arrowroot flour in a small bowl until smooth. Pour this mixture into the skillet.
Add the coconut milk, nutmeg, sea salt, and black pepper, stirring constantly, and let it simmer until the mixture thickens to a paste-like consistency. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
In a small bowl, combine almond flour and coconut flour.
On a cutting board, take about a small handful of the chicken mixture and form it into a cylindrical shape. Repeat until all the mixture is used up.
Set up a dredging station with 3 separate bowls: one with 2 tablespoons arrowroot flour, the second with beaten eggs, and the third with the almond-coconut flour mixture.
Roll each cylinder first in the arrowroot flour, then dip it into the egg, and finally coat it with the almond-coconut flour mixture.
Place the coated kroketten on a large plate and refrigerate them for about 30 minutes to firm up before frying.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Fry the kroketten in batches, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown on all sides.
Transfer the kroketten to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve warm and enjoy your Whole30 Dutch Kroketten!
