Low Carb Dill Pickle Chicken Fritters
Ingredients
1 pound ground chicken
1/2 cup chopped dill pickles
1/4 cup almond flour
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 large egg
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
Directions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, chopped dill pickles, almond flour, Parmesan cheese, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
Form the mixture into small patties, about 2 inches in diameter.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the chicken fritters to the skillet, cooking in batches if necessary. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the fritters from the skillet and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
Serve warm with your choice of sides.
Variations & Tips
For a little extra flavor, try adding a tablespoon of chopped fresh dill to the mixture. If you have picky eaters, you can finely chop the pickles so they’re less noticeable. For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or some chopped jalapeños. You can also bake these fritters in the oven at 375°F for about 20 minutes if you prefer a less oily option.
