These super-quick and easy cheesy chicken fritters are a breeze to prepare and cook, and you can have them on the table in just half an hour.
They’re low in carbs, making them perfect for a keto or low-carb diet, but you wouldn’t be able to tell since all you can taste in the fritters is deliciousness!
Chicken breasts are one of those ingredients we often use to make the same old dishes, but here is a brand new way of using them.
Chicken, eggs and cheese are three of the main ingredients and then almond flour replaces traditional wheat flour to bind the fritters together. A trifecta of aromatic herbs, namely parsley, chives and basil, combine with garlic to add fragrant flavor, and then you just need a little oil to fry the fritters until they’re golden brown and crispy!
Enjoy the keto fritters as an appetizer or snack, or pair them with your favorite salad to make a complete meal.

Storage Instructions:
These should be fine for up to 4 days in an airtight container, or tightly wrapped in foil, in the fridge. Another idea is freezing them for up to 3 months then thawing overnight in the refrigerator.
Variations and Substitutions:
You can use turkey instead of chicken, any other shredded cheese instead of mozzarella, or use different herbs (Italian mixed herbs would be good, or smoked paprika with onion powder, or even oregano, cumin and chili for a south of the border flavor).
