- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (for frying)
Instructions
- Prepare the Mixture:
- In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, mayonnaise, egg, almond flour, minced garlic, chopped parsley (if using), salt, pepper, and paprika. Mix until well combined.
- Form the Fritters:

- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Cook the Fritters:
- Place the chicken patties in the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. You may need to do this in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
