Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds boneless skinless chicken breast diced into small cubes (boneless skinless chicken thighs, or ground chicken or ground turkey may be substituted)
- 1 large egg
- ¾ cup shredded Mozzarella cheese
- ⅓ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley or 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely minced
- ½ teaspoon dried dill
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt or to taste
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper or to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- To a large bowl, add all the ingredients (except the olive oil) and stir to combine.
- To a large skillet, add the olive oil, and then add the chicken in heaping 1-tablespoon sized mounds. Flatten as needed until it's in a flatter patty shape. Tip - I use two spoons for the process of scooping and then flattening, but you can figure out what 'system' you like the best.
- Fry for about 3 minutes on the first side, flip, and fry for about 3 minutes on the second side. To check for doneness, break open one of the patties and make sure the chicken is cooked through completely. Tip - If your skillet isn't big enough, you may need to fry in batches rather than over-crowding the skillet.
- If desired, you can place them on paper towels to blot a bit of the oil, but I don't. I serve them immediately with my dips and sauce* (see below for ideas). Fritters are best hot and fresh but will keep airtight in the fridge for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 4 months. Another serving suggestion is to make sliders with them. I recommend Hawaiian bread slider buns if you go this route.
Notes
- *Dip and sauce suggestions include:
- Air Fryer Option
- My recommendation is a 375F air fryer with a well sprayed basket, don’t crowd the patties, and air fry them for about 3 minutes per side, or until they’re done. Exact cooking time will depend on your model of air fryer and how big the patties are.
- Barbecue sauce
- Ranch
- Aioli
- Honey mustard
- Ketchup
- Salsa (Pineapple Chipotle, Tomatillo Avocado, Peach Mango, Restaurant-Style)
- Hot sauce (Huichol, Tapatio, etc.)
