Time 55m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound skinless, boneless chicken thighs, cut into halves
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon paprika
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 egg, lightly beaten
2 green onions, minced
2 tablespoons plain unsweetened protein powder (such as Isopure®)
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided

Steps:

  • Combine chicken pieces, salt, paprika, pepper, and garlic powder in the bowl of a food processor; pulse until meat is coarsely chopped into 1/4- to 1/2-inch pieces. Do not over process.
  • Transfer chicken mixture to a bowl. Add mozzarella cheese, mayonnaise, egg, and green onions; mix to combine. Sprinkle protein powder on top and mix together until evenly combined. Set aside for flavors to blend, 20 to 30 minutes; the mixture will be wet.
  • Preheat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Use a 1/4-cup measuring cup to scoop 4 slightly heaping portions into the skillet. Press down on each fritter slightly to form a small patty. Cook until no longer pink in the center and fritters are golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  • Remove fritters and drain on a paper towel-lined plate; keep warm. Repeat with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and chicken mixture. Serve immediately.

Delicious! I followed the recipe exactly and the fritters turned out perfectly. They were crispy on the outside and tender and juicy on the inside. I served them with a side of roasted vegetables and they were a perfect meal.

I'm not a big fan of chicken fritters, but these were actually pretty good. The almond flour coating was nice and crispy and the chicken was tender and juicy. I served them with a side of mashed cauliflower and they were a satisfying meal.

These fritters were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I might have overcooked them. Next time I will try cooking them for a shorter amount of time.
