Tender Chicken Fritters
Description
Tender Chicken Fritters are made by dicing chicken into small pieces and mixing them with a rich batter containing eggs, mayonnaise, flour (or starch), shredded mozzarella cheese, fresh dill, salt, and black pepper. The batter-coated chicken is marinated for at least two hours or overnight, allowing flavors to meld and the texture to become soft.
Cooking involves pan-frying spoonfuls of the mixture in oil until both sides are golden brown and the chicken is cooked through. The frying results in a delicate crisp exterior while keeping the inside creamy and tender due to the mozzarella and mayonnaise.
These fritters can be served as a casual main dish or appetizer. Their mild herb seasoning and cheese content make them enjoyable with dips or a light salad, suitable for a simple meal or snack.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lbs chicken breast 3 large
- 2 egg large
- 5 Tbsp mayonnaise about 1/3 cup
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour or cornstarch or potato starch
- 4 oz mozzarella cheese shredded, 1 1/3 cups
- 1 1/2 Tbsp dill chopped, fresh
- 1/2 tsp salt or to taste, 1/8 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp black pepper or to taste, 1/8 tsp black pepper
- extra light olive oil or any high heat oil to sautee
Instructions
- Using a sharp knife, dice chicken into 1/3" to 1/2" thick pieces and set aside.
- In a medium bowl combine batter ingredients: 2 eggs, 5 Tbsp mayo, 1/3 cup flour, 1 1/3 cups mozzarella, 1 1/2 Tbsp dill, 1/2 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp black pepper. Stir until well combined. Stir in diced chicken, cover with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator at least 2 hours, or overnight.
- Heat a large non-stick pan over med heat. Add 2 Tbsp oil and when hot, add the chicken mixture a heaping Tbsp at a time (I used a flat ice cream scoop). Pat down fritters with the back of your spoon to flatten slightly. Saute uncovered 3 - 4 min on the first side then flip and saute uncovered 3 min on the second side or until golden brown and fully cooked. Repeat with remaining fritters. Remove to a paper towel lined dish.
