Ingredients
- 500 g Chicken breast
- 100 g Almond flour
- 50 g Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cup Onion, finely chopped
- 30 g Butter
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 50 ml Coconut oil
- 2 tbsp Parsley, fresh and chopped
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Step 2
Finely chop the chicken breast into small pieces or use a food processor to pulse it a few times until roughly chopped.
Step 3
In a skillet over medium heat, melt 10g of butter and sauté the finely chopped onion until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped chicken, sautéed onions, almond flour, Parmesan cheese, egg, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a homogeneous mixture.
Step 5
Shape the mixture into 8 small croquettes (about 60g each), ensuring they are compact to prevent them from breaking apart.
Step 6
In another skillet, heat the coconut oil and remaining butter over medium heat until hot.
Step 7
Gently place the croquettes in the skillet. Fry each side for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown.
Step 8
Transfer the fried croquettes onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper and place them in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes to ensure they are cooked through.
Step 9
Remove from oven and let them rest for a few minutes. Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Step 10
Serve the croquettes warm with a side salad or your preferred keto-friendly dip.
