Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup finely shredded chicken
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 egg
- Seasonings of choice (e.g., salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika)
- 1/2 tsp baking powder (optional for fluffiness)
- 1/4 cup finely chopped green onions
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika for added flavor
- Keto-friendly dipping sauce (e.g., ranch, BBQ)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking the chicken fries.
- Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of finely shredded chicken, 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, and 1 egg. Add your chosen seasonings such as salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika, then mix well until evenly combined.
- Add Baking Powder: For extra fluffiness, mix in 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder into the chicken and cheese mixture thoroughly.
- Shape Fries: Using your hands, shape the mixture into fry shapes (like strips) and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet to prevent sticking.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 20 minutes, or until the chicken fries are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the fries from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Pair with your favorite keto-friendly dipping sauce like ranch or BBQ for best flavor.
Notes
- Shredded chicken can be from cooked chicken breasts or rotisserie chicken.
- Adjust seasonings according to your taste preferences.
- For crispier fries, you can broil them for an additional 1-2 minutes at the end of baking, watching closely to prevent burning.
- These fries are best served warm but can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- Reheat in an oven or air fryer to maintain crispiness rather than using a microwave.
