Keto Cabbage & Chicken Patties
🛒 What You’ll Need
- 1 lb Ground chicken (or finely chopped cooked chicken) 🍗✨
- 4 cups Cabbage, finely shredded or grated 🥬
- ½ cup Shredded carrots (for a pop of color and sweetness!) 🥕
- 2 Large eggs, beaten (the keto binder!) 🥚
- ½ cup Almond flour or crushed pork rinds (to keep it keto-friendly!) 🌾
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced & ¼ cup Green onions, sliced 🧄🌿
- 1 tsp Onion powder & ½ tsp Smoked paprika 🧂🧡
- Salt & Black pepper to taste 🧂🖤
- 2-3 tbsp Avocado oil or Olive oil for frying 🫒🔥
- Fresh parsley for garnish 🌿
👩🍳 Instructions
- Prep the Cabbage: Place your shredded cabbage in a bowl and sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Let it sit for 10 minutes, then squeeze out as much moisture as possible using a clean kitchen towel. This is the secret to a crispy patty! 🥬🛡️💎
- The Mix: In a large bowl, combine the “dry” cabbage, ground chicken, shredded carrots, garlic, green onions, and spices. 🥣🌪️🍗
- Bind it Together: Stir in the beaten eggs and almond flour until the mixture is well-combined and easy to handle. 🥣🤝✨
- Form the Patties: Shape the mixture into small, even patties as seen in the photo! ✋📐✨
- The Perfect Sear: Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Carefully place the patties in the pan (don’t overcrowd!). 🍳🔥💨
- Cook to Golden: Fry for 4–5 minutes per side until they are deeply golden brown and the chicken is cooked through as seen in the photo! ⏲️📈🤤
- Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm with a dollop of sour cream or spicy mayo! 🍽️😋🧤✨
🔥 Pro Tips:
- The “Moisture” Secret: Cabbage holds a lot of water! If you don’t squeeze it dry, your patties might fall apart in the pan. Don’t skip step one! 🥬🚫💧
- Meal Prep Hero: These taste just as good the next day! Reheat them in an air fryer for 2-3 minutes to bring back that signature crunch. 🥡🎯💎
