Cheesy chicken fritters
INGREDIENTS
- 16 oz boneless skinless chicken breast weighed raw
- 1 egg
- 3 Tbsp flour
- 1.5 Tbsp parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup reduced fat shredded mozzarella cheese I used Trader Joe’s
- 1 garlic clove diced
- Fresh basil chopped (I used a few Tbsp)
- 1 Tbsp chives I used dried
- 1 Tbsp parsley
- Pinch of salt & pepper
- 1/4 tsp chili powder
- 2 tsp cooking oil I also used some cooking spray
- Cut the chicken into very small pieces (the smaller the better) place chicken pieces in a bowl and add in the egg, flour, parmesan, mozzarella, garlic, and seasonings. Using a spoon, mix well.
- Heat a large frying pan over medium to low heat, add the oil *I also sprayed the pan with some cooking spray to help them not stick to the pan since you are not using much oil.
- Once pan is hot add in about 1/4 cup of chicken mixture per fritter, don’t overcrowd the pan too much, I cooked 3 at a time. Cook fritters about 10 minutes each, turning a few times, don’t have the temp too hot or they will cook too much on the outside and not enough on the inside.
- Store chicken fritters in the fridge and they will freeze well.
