INGREDIENTS NOTES:
SPINACH:
- We have to make sure the spinach is completely thawed and wrung dry to get rid of extra water if you’re using frozen spinach. We can also use the fresh spinach by chopping and sautéing the spinach.
CHICKEN:
- You can use boiled or grilled chicken, but for convenience, precooked shredded chicken, like rotisserie chicken, works best. We have to make sure to shred it finely to improve the texture.
MOZZARELLA AND PARMESAN CHEESE:
- We use shredded mozzarella and Parmesan because these cheeses combine to make the ideal melt and flavor, but you may try other cheeses, such as cheddar, Gouda, or pepper jack, for a variety of flavors.
ALMOND FLOUR:
- Almond flour helps to form the firm bites and it also aids in binding the mixture together. The use of almond flour is advised but optional if you want a more stable bite.
EGGS:
- The eggs help the mixture stay together during baking by acting as a binding agent. We can also use the flax eggs or a chia seed mixture in place of eggs if you require an egg-free alternative.
