Low Sodium Chicken Patties Recipe

These patties use lean ground chicken, almond flour, and herbs to create a flavorful, moist patty that’s lightly pan-fried to a golden finish. There’s no added salt, making them ideal for salt-sensitive diets. The texture is soft on the inside and lightly crisp outside. Perfect for lunch, dinner, or meal prep.

Ingredients Needed

• 1 lb ground chicken: lean and protein-rich.
• ½ cup almond flour (divided): keeps patties tender and low carb.
• 1 tsp onion powder: salt-free flavor boost.
• 1 clove garlic, minced: natural flavor, low sodium.
• 1 egg: binds the patties.
• ¼ tsp dried oregano: herbaceous flavor.
• 1 tbsp salt-free herb seasoning (optional): adds flavor without sodium.
• 2 tsp olive oil: for pan cooking.

How To Make Low Sodium Chicken Patties

Mix the Patties:
In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, ¼ cup almond flour, onion powder, minced garlic, egg, dried oregano, and optional salt-free seasoning. Mix gently until well combined.

Form and Coat:
Place the remaining ¼ cup almond flour in a shallow dish. Divide the chicken mixture into 4 equal portions. Form each into a patty and press both sides into the almond flour. Set aside on a plate.

Cook the Patties:
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook patties for 5 minutes on one side. Flip and cook another 3–4 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Internal temperature should reach 165°F.

Recipe Tips

• Avoid added salt; let herbs and garlic add natural flavor.
• Use garlic-infused oil if you want a milder garlic taste.

• Use a food thermometer to check for doneness.
• Patties pair well with low sodium sides like steamed veggies or brown rice.
