🧀 What Are Cheesy Chicken Fritters?

Cheesy Chicken Fritters are savory patties made from finely chopped chicken breast mixed with cheese, eggs, and a bit of flour (or breadcrumbs) to hold them together. When pan-fried, they develop a crispy crust while staying tender and cheesy inside. Think of them as a cross between chicken nuggets and cheesy pancakes—only way better!

🧂 Ingredients You’ll Need

For the Fritters:

• 2 large chicken breasts (about 500g), finely chopped
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/3 cup all-purpose flour (or cornstarch for a lighter version)
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tbsp mayonnaise or Greek yogurt (adds moisture and richness)
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1/2 tsp paprika (optional, for color and flavor)
• 2 tbsp chopped parsley or green onions

For Frying:

• 2–3 tbsp olive oil or vegetable oil

Optional Dipping Sauce:

• 1/4 cup mayonnaise
• 1 tbsp ketchup
• 1 tsp lemon juice or vinegar
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder

👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Preparation

Step 1: Prepare the Chicken

Start with fresh, boneless, skinless chicken breasts. Dice them into very small pieces—almost minced, but not ground. This texture ensures juicy fritters with a satisfying bite.

Tip: If you prefer a smoother texture, you can pulse the chicken in a food processor for a few seconds—just don’t overblend!

Step 2: Combine the Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, add the chopped chicken, shredded mozzarella, minced garlic, eggs, mayonnaise, flour, salt, pepper, paprika, and parsley.
Mix thoroughly with a spoon or your hands until all ingredients are evenly coated and you have a thick, sticky mixture.

The mixture should hold together easily—if it feels too wet, sprinkle in a little more flour.

Step 3: Let It Rest

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for about 20–30 minutes.
This helps the flavors meld together and makes the mixture firmer, so it’s easier to shape into fritters later.
