Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons ghee
• 1 medium, finely chopped onion
• 2 cups, shredded cooked chicken breast
• 1 cup coconut milk (full-fat, unsweetened)
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 6 tablespoons arrowroot flour
• 1.5 cups almond flour
• 1 cup coconut flour
• 3 egg
• 0.5 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.5 cup olive oil

Directions

Step 1

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the ghee and sauté the chopped onion until translucent.

Step 2

Add the shredded chicken to the skillet and stir well to combine with the onions. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Mix the chicken broth and 4 tablespoons of arrowroot flour in a small bowl until smooth. Pour this mixture into the skillet.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

In a small bowl, combine almond flour and coconut flour.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Roll each cylinder first in the arrowroot flour, then dip it into the egg, and finally coat it with the almond-coconut flour mixture.

Step 9

Place the coated kroketten on a large plate and refrigerate them for about 30 minutes to firm up before frying.

Step 10

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.

Step 11

Transfer the kroketten to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve warm and enjoy your Whole30 Dutch Kroketten!
