Dietary Notes: Gluten-free, Dairy-free, Pollotarian, High-protein, Low-fat

Ingredients

  • 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken (about 10-12 oz)
  • 1/2 cup very finely chopped raw broccoli florets (minced to rice-sized pieces)
  • 1/2 cup grated zucchini (about 1/2 medium zucchini)
  • 1 medium carrot, grated (about 1/2 cup)
  • 3 egg whites
  • 1/2 cup chickpea flour
  • 1/4 cup finely diced onions
  • 2 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 tsp granulated garlic
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • Optional: 1/4 cup finely diced bell peppers for extra veggies

Instructions

Prep (can do 1-2 days ahead):

  1. Very finely chop the broccoli into rice-sized pieces (this is important for even cooking)
  2. Grate the zucchini and place in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth
  3. Squeeze firmly to remove as much liquid as possible (this is crucial!)
  4. Grate the carrot
  5. In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken, finely chopped broccoli, squeezed zucchini, and grated carrot
  6. Add diced onions and bell peppers if using
  7. In a small bowl, whisk together egg whites, Italian seasoning, garlic, salt, and pepper
  8. Pour egg mixture over chicken and vegetables, mix well
  9. Add chickpea flour gradually, mixing until mixture holds together when pressed
  10. Form into small patties or nugget shapes (about 2 inches across)
  11. Place on a parchment-lined tray
  12. Cover and refrigerate until ready to cook

Air Frying:

  1. Preheat air fryer to 380°F
  2. Lightly spray fritters with olive oil on both sides
  3. Place in air fryer basket in a single layer (work in batches if needed)
  4. Cook for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through at 6-7 minutes
  5. They're done when golden brown and crispy on the edges

Tips

  • Critical: Really squeeze that zucchini dry - watery vegetables = soggy fritters
  • Chop the broccoli very finely - the smaller the pieces, the better they'll cook through
  • If mixture is too wet after mixing, add 1-2 more tablespoons of chickpea flour
  • You can make these into nugget shapes for fun finger food
  • These freeze well after cooking - reheat in air fryer at 350°F for 5-6 minutes

How To Work With AI to Create and Publish a Recipe

  How To Work With AI to Create and Publish a Recipe I've been having fun using AI to create recipes lately, here's what's working well for me: Getting Started with Claude AI Step 1: Log into claude.ai with your Google account and choose the Free plan Step 2: Type in any crazy (or normal) recipe idea Or even just fish for ideas! Step 3: Claude will do its best to give you a recipe (or it'll tell you if your idea is really bad) Customizing Your Recipe Now my favorite part is making tweaks and substitutions. If Claude says to use almond flour, but you have coconut flour in the house, ask for a substitution. You can ask about: Increasing the yield: Adjust serving sizes to make more or less Changing the cooking method: Switch from baking to air frying, stovetop to slow cooker, etc. Making the process more efficient: Streamline steps, reduce prep time, or simplify techniques The possibilities are endless! Preparing for Publication Once you're happ...
