Ingredients:

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or finely chopped
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 large eggs
1/4 cup almond flour (or coconut flour for lower carbs)
1/4 cup sour cream
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
Salt and pepper, to taste
Fresh parsley or chives, chopped, for garnish

Instructions:

Preheat Your Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and let it preheat for about 3–5 minutes.
Mix the Batter:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, mozzarella, Parmesan, almond flour, eggs, sour cream, and seasonings. Mix until a sticky, cohesive mixture forms.
Shape the Fritters:
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the mixture and shape it into small patties or fritters. You should get around 10–12 fritters, depending on size.
Air Fry:
Lightly spray the air fryer basket with oil to prevent sticking. Place the fritters in a single layer, leaving some space between each. Lightly spray the tops with oil for extra crispiness.
Cook Until Golden:
Air fry for 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the fritters are golden brown and crispy on both sides.
Serve & Garnish:
Remove the fritters from the air fryer and garnish with freshly chopped parsley or chives.

Pro Tips:

For an extra cheesy flavor, add a sprinkle of sharp cheddar or Gruyère cheese.
Pair these fritters with a low-carb dipping sauce like ranch, spicy mayo, or marinara.
