1. Prep the ingredients.
Wash the zucchini and cut into pieces; if it's very watery, drain it slightly before using. Cut the chicken breast into small pieces to make processing easier.

2. Make the mixture.
In a food processor, combine the chicken, zucchini, egg, almond flour, salt, and oregano. Process for a few seconds until smooth and slightly sticky — don't over-process, so it keeps some texture.
