These keto chicken patties are crispy on the outside and full of tender chicken and plenty of fresh herbs for loads of flavor. I love dipping these chicken patties in spicy ranch for a flavorful meal that doesn’t feel like diet food.
I know it’s not cool to admit to loving fried food, but man. I love fried food.
One of the things that I tend to miss when cutting carbs is the crispy fried goodness.
These chicken patties came about during a fried food craving and they’re DIVINE. No breading to worry about, just loads of shredded chicken (protein!), lots of herbs (flavor!), and a simple little dipping sauce (because obviously).
This chicken patty recipe basically takes my keto salmon patties and swaps in chicken. Super simple and a total hit – especially if you’re on the fence about salmon, like I am.
How to make chicken patties:
Mix It Up – Add the shredded chicken to a mixing bowl along with the almond flour, eggs, mayo, garlic, green onion, dill, parsley, salt, and pepper.
Stir & Scoop – Stir that up real well and then use a medium cookie scoop to scoop out a ball of the mixture into your hand.
Flatten & Cook – Scoop the mixture into your hand and gently flatten it out. Pop the chicken patties into a hot skillet with melted butter.
Fry ‘Em Up – Cook for about 3 minutes per side, just to brown them on each side and get them a bit crisp and warmed through.
I like to dip these chicken patties in spicy ranch dressing. Just take my homemade ranch dressing and drizzle in some Frank’s Red Hot until it’s as spicy as you’d like.
Storage & Reheating:
Fridge: Store leftover cooked patties in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
Freezer: Place cooked chicken patties on a sheet pan in a single layer and freeze for 1 hour. Transfer to a freezer bag and freeze for up to 3 months.
Reheating: Reheat these in the air fryer at 380 degrees until they’re hot and crispy again. Alternately, bake at 400 until heated through.

I’m not a fan of almond flour. Do you think I could exchange it for ground pork rinds??
Karly Campbell says
You can definitely try! Let us know how it goes. 🙂
JAG says
Ohhh, that sounds like a great idea! Did you do that? How did they turn out?
Pam says
Thank you so much for all your recipes. Have only tried the deviled eggs, and I could go on and on about the Chaffles. Am going to try the crock pot fajitas this weekend. I don’t understand why some people will give you such a hard time. The recipes are good and I am glad you are doing this
Karly Campbell says
Hey Pam! It’s just the nature of the internet. People don’t realize it’s another person on the other end. Anyway, thank you!! I’m so glad you enjoy the recipes. Hope you love the fajitas too! 🙂
Judy Blanton says
I tried this and I absolutely loved it. Will make this again and again. My husband also enjoyed it too.
Heather says
I made these for my picky French husband and he loved them so thank you! Goodness, ever since we had them the first time – I’ve been wondering how long it would be before I could make them again! So yummy and SO easy! Wow! Thank you a million times over! They lasted for food prep as well, so nice!
Katriza says
Whats the net carb per serving on this? Thank you!
Karly Campbell says
The nutrition info is located within the recipe card.
Christi Lewis says
The nutrition facts shows to be only 3 patties. It seems to be more than that.
Karly Campbell says
Hi Christi! This will make 9-10 patties, each serving is 3 patties.
Cathy J Phillips says
Can you use can chicken breast? Thanks
Karly Campbell says
Yep!
Kat says
Hey Karly! Do you think these would be successful in an air fryer?
Karly Campbell says
Probably! I’ve never tried it though, so I can’t say for sure! I’d mist with a little cooking spray and cook at 400 for 3 minutes as a starting point. 🙂
Magriet says
Hi Karl, will it work if I use the same amount of chicken mince instead of the shredded chicken breast?
Karly Campbell says
I haven’t tried, so I’m really not sure.
Kaz says
Hi Karly just a question where can I get almond flour from having huge trouble getting it or is there some other flour I can use please let me know thanks kaz
Karly Campbell says
Hi Kaz! I’ve seen it in every chain grocery store I’ve been in. Walmart carries it, if nothing else. 🙂
Nicola Naibert says
Kaz, I found it at Amazon, all my keto stuff came from Amazon.
Sharon says
Almond flour is available online from Costco and Amazon.
