4 Ingredient Broccoli Chicken Fritters (Low Carb)

 These broccoli chicken fritters are so easy to make. All you need is 4 ingredients to create a delicious, low calorie, high protein and low carb meal!

I can’t say enough about this simple and delicious recipe! You will fall in love with these broccoli chicken fritters if you’re into meal prepping and having something quick to eat on the go or in your house with a salad or soup! They are not only low calories and carbs, they are also high in protein.

You wouldn’t think a recipe with only 4 main ingredients could be this good – but they are! If you prefer chicken breasts, switch those in instead. Just make sure they are cut into small cubes.

My favorite part of this recipe is that its an all-in-one dish. You have the chicken and cheese for protein and the broccoli for fiber.

We love to eat these alone or with my famous Lazy Tzatziki Dip which comes together in minutes!

equipment

• cutting board

• 1½ lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs

• 1/2 tsp each paprika, garlic powder, onion powder + Italian herb blend

instructions

• Steam your broccoli crown in about 1 inch of water for 7 minutes or until fork tender. Move to paper towel and allow to cool slightly. Pat dry with towel. Next, chop them into tiny pieces.
• Slice you chicken into bite size pieces and add them to a large bowl along with the chopped broccoli, mozzarella, seasonings, eggs and mix until well combined.
• In a large skillet, heat 1-2 tbs of olive oil until hot. Working in batches, add about 1/4 cup of the mixture to the pan and flatten it out. Repeat but don't overcrowd the pan. Lower heat to medium-low and cook for 6 minutes per side. Lower heat if they are getting too brown. You want them golden brown and cooked inside.
