Here's a delicious and easy recipe for Cheesy Chicken Fritters – crispy on the outside, juicy and cheesy on the inside:
Cheesy Chicken Fritters Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1.5 lbs (about 700g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, finely chopped
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 2 large eggs
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise or sour cream
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (or almond flour for low-carb)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup green onions or chives, finely chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 tsp paprika (optional)
- Oil for frying (vegetable or olive oil)
Instructions:
-
Prep Chicken: Finely chop the chicken breasts into small pieces (almost minced but not ground). You can also pulse it briefly in a food processor.
-
Mix Fritter Base: In a large bowl, combine the chopped chicken, cheese, eggs, mayo, flour, garlic, green onions, salt, pepper, and paprika. Mix well until fully combined.
-
Chill (optional but recommended): Cover and refrigerate the mixture for 15–30 minutes. This helps it firm up for easier shaping.
-
Cook Fritters:
- Heat a few tablespoons of oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the mixture per fritter into the pan, flatten slightly with a spatula.
- Fry 3–4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and fully cooked through.
-
Drain: Place on paper towels to remove excess oil.
-
Serve: Delicious with sour cream, ranch, garlic sauce, or a side salad.
Tips:
- Add fresh herbs like dill or parsley for extra flavor.
- For a spicy kick, add a pinch of chili flakes or diced jalapeños.
