I may be having a small love affair with plantains right now!

This is a super easy recipe and it really does go well with roasted chicken, which I tend to eat quite often, because I am not a big fan of most red meats, well that and I love chicken! Give it a try!

Garlic Lime Chicken Plantain Fritters (Paleo, AIP, Whole30)

Perfectly seasoned chicken pairs with delicious plantain for a fast, easy, filling, and fun meal!

INGREDIENTS
2 ripe (yellow and black) plantains, mashed (about 1.5 cups mashed)
1/2 cup packed pre-cooked shredded chicken
2 Tbsp pressed or minced garlic
juice of 1 lime
1 tsp fine Himalayan salt
optional: 1/4 cup minced cilantro
1/4 cup+ fat of choice for frying (pastured lard or coconut oil for AIP; ghee or butter if tolerated)

INSTRUCTIONS

Choose ripe plantains that are a blend of yellow and black and which give when pressed. Slice the tips off with a knife, then cut a slit down the length of the peel. Lift peel with your fingers and discard. Place plantains in a bowl and use a potato masher to mash until smooth. You can also puree them in a food processor if you prefer.
Add remaining ingredients to the bowl and mix to combine.
Heat your fat in a large frying pan for 3-4 minutes over medium heat. Cook the fritters in batches, adding additional fat as needed. Drop the plantain mixture into the pan using a tablespoon, flattening them to be between 3-4 inches across. Smaller fritters are easier to turn without breaking. Make mini fritters (~2 inches wide) if you want finger food.
Cook on each side for about 4-5 minutes, or until browned and crispy. Take care when flipping as they may be a little fragile.
Serve with lime wedges. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and reheat by either warming in a 350F oven for about 10 minutes or heating in a frying pan with a little fat until heated throughout.
Prep Time: 00 hrs. 10 mins.
Cook time: 00 hrs. 10 mins.

Total time: 20 mins.
