👩🍳 Instructions
1️⃣ Mix the Batter
In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, cheese, eggs, almond flour, mayo, and seasonings. Stir until evenly mixed.
The mixture should be thick and sticky — if too wet, add a little more almond flour.
2️⃣ Form Patties
Scoop about 2–3 tablespoons of the mixture and flatten into small patties.
3️⃣ Cook
-
Pan method: Heat oil or butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
Cook patties for 4–5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. -
Oven method: Bake on a parchment-lined tray at 400°F (200°C) for 18–20 minutes, flipping halfway through for even browning.
4️⃣ Serve
Let cool slightly and serve warm. Garnish with extra chives if desired.
