Cut the stems off the broccoli florets. Steam or boil them for 2 minutes or until blanched. Then in a large bowl add the shredded chicken, broccoli and cheddar cheese to the batter. Mix until well combined.

In a frying pan, over medium/low heat, fry the fritter batter in the butter, approx. 1/4 cup at a time. Brown each side until golden brown.

WHAT IS THE KETOGENIC DIET?

If you haven’t heard of The ketogenic diet (often called keto), it’s a very low-carb, high-fat diet that shares similarities to paleo, Whole30, and Atkins. It involves drastically reducing carbohydrate intake, and replacing it with fat. When your body switches to burning fat for its primary fuel source, that’s when you hit ketosis.

While on the Keto diet you’re supposed to get at least 70 percent of your calories from fat, 15 to 25 percent from protein, and 10 percent from carbohydrates. You’re supposed to avoid all grains, legumes, root vegetables, fruit, (except berries) and sugar.

Keto Broccoli Chicken Fritters

This Recipe for Gluten Free & Keto Broccoli Chicken Fritters is a cinch to whip up. They make a delicious meal or side dish and can be made with many variations. For a little extra flavour, you could add scallions, green onions or chives. You could also add feta or parmesan cheese. The crispy fritters can be served with any type of dip. I used sour cream, which was delicious but you could use a greek yogurt dip, tartar sauce or ranch instead.
