Ground Chicken Patties or Meatballs

Grain free, dairy free, and low in carbs. I ran into some ground white chicken breast real cheap and intended to make meatballs, but at the last minute got lazy and made them into patties. Here's the recipe I came up with. They were fantastic, if I do say so myself. Serve with dipping sauce, if desired.

Step 1

Combine ground chicken, eggs, almond flour, onion, celery, chia seeds, relish, tamari, jalapeno peppers, chicken seasoning, garlic onion seasoning, and salt in a large bowl. Mix well, but do not overmix.

Step 2

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and coat with 1 tablespoon sesame oil. Drop large tablespoonfuls of the chicken mixture into the hot oil; flatten slightly with the back of the spoon.
