- Mix the shredded chicken, coconut flour and any seasoning in a big bowl with a fork until the chicken is evenly coated.
- Stir in the avocado oil, mayonnaise and egg. The mix will be loose, like a thick pancake batter.
- To serve exact portions, weigh the batter now: one serving is 89 g.
- Heat a non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Drop in spoonfuls of the mixture and cook like small pancakes, turning at least once, until cooked through.
- Let them cool in the pan so they soak the oil back up, or pour the pan oil over them.
- Serve, or freeze flat and reheat in a pan over medium-low heat. They can also be baked in a muffin tin or silicone moulds at 450 °F (230 °C) for 15 to 20 minutes.
Salt, pepper and seasoning to taste are not weighed or counted. A dip such as mustard would need counting separately.
