Irresistible Chicken Patties with Mozzarella

Ingredients:

• 2 large chicken breasts, ground or finely chopped
• 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 1/4 cup almond flour
• 1 egg
• 2 tbsp olive oil (for frying)
• 1/4 tsp garlic powder
• 1/4 tsp onion powder
• 1/4 tsp paprika
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Prep the Chicken: If using chicken breasts, grind or finely chop them. You can also use pre-ground chicken for convenience.
2. Mix the Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, shredded mozzarella, almond flour, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix everything well until fully combined. The mixture should be firm enough to hold its shape.
3. Shape the Patties: Using your hands, shape the chicken mixture into small, round patties. You should get about 6-8 patties, depending on the size.
4. Cook the Patties: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the patties in the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C).
5. Serve and Enjoy: Once cooked, remove the patties from the skillet and let them rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve with a side of your favorite keto-friendly vegetables or a salad.
