Keto Carnivore Crispy Chicken Cakes

Prepared in 10 minutes using 5-ingredients, this Carnivore chicken recipe is a winner. The patties are crispy and golden on the outside and soft and tender in the middle. They are an excellent hand-held snack and satiating lunch or dinner. The great thing is that you can customize them to your liking and dietary preference.

What type of chicken can you use for this recipe?

This recipe is one of the most customizable Carnivore diet recipes in terms of ingredients. We have used precooked shredded chicken breasts. You can cook your own or use rotisserie chicken. Canned chicken would also work, but make sure the ingredient list is clean. If you’re not a fan of chicken breast, feel free to use thighs. Whichever chicken you prefer, make sure that it is organic and free-range.

How can you customize this Carnivore chicken recipe?

Usually, animal-based diet recipes allow some dairy, but we kept this recipe clean and suitable for a strict carnivore diet. If you can tolerate dairy, add some grated cheese like parmesan, cheddar, or Monterey Jack. You can also add your desired spices and herbs. For serving, top these chicken patties with a generous dollop of sour cream. If you decide to use dairy in this recipe, ensure it is A2 and low-lactose/lactose-free.

What is a serving size?

The serving size depends on your appetite and calorie requirements. These patties are satiating, so 1-2 can be enough if eaten as a snack or lunch. If you’re preparing them for dinner, you’ll need 3-4 cakes. Either way, we suggest preparing a large batch, serving some right away, and meal prepping the rest.

Disclaimer:

Parsley is used as a garnish and can be omitted if following a strict Carnivore diet.

    These were so good. I made 6 and ate 2 as a serving. The next day I ate them cold right out of the fridge like I do salmon patties. I spread 1 tsp Miracle Whip over them as they were a tad dry (cold) and ate with shredded lettuce. So full after.
