Notes

  • Serving Suggestions
    – Serve these patties in a lettuce wrap for a refreshing and crunchy twist, enhancing the keto aspect of the meal.
    – Pair the patties with a side of mixed greens or a keto-friendly salad for added nutrients and fiber.
    – Top the patties with a dollop of sugar-free barbecue sauce or a creamy keto-friendly dressing for extra flavor.
    – For a heartier meal, serve alongside roasted vegetables like broccoli or Brussels sprouts.
  • Notes
    – Ensure the canned chicken is thoroughly drained to prevent the patties from becoming too moist.
    – If you prefer spicier patties, consider adding a pinch of chili flakes or cayenne pepper to the mixture.
    – The patties can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, making them perfect for meal prep.
  • Tips
    – Patties can also be cooked in an air fryer at 400°F for about 10 minutes, flipping halfway through, for a crispier texture.
    – For uniform patties, use a measuring cup or an ice cream scoop to portion out the mixture.
    – If the mixture is too sticky, wet your hands slightly before forming the patties.
  • Variations/Modifications
    – For a dairy-free version, substitute cheddar cheese with a dairy-free cheese alternative.
    – Add finely chopped vegetables like bell peppers or spinach to the mix for added nutrition and flavor.
    – Experiment with different seasonings like Italian seasoning or taco spices for a variety of flavors.
  • Prep Ahead
    – The patty mixture can be prepared ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator overnight, making it easy to bake fresh patties when needed.
    – Patties can be baked ahead of time and reheated in the oven or microwave for a quick meal.

  1. I’m trying this one out tonight. Unfortunately I don’t have parchment paper, but I used a little bit of oil on my pan. It certainly looked good going into the oven. Can’t wait to try them!
