Ingrédients
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella) Use a blend for richer taste.
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs Substitute with gluten-free options if needed.
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 1 large egg Beaten
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- Oil for frying About half an inch deep in the pan.
Instructions
Preparation
- Start by gathering all your ingredients. Shred the cooked chicken if you haven’t done so already, and grate your cheese for even melting.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cheese, breadcrumbs, green onions, beaten egg, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until everything is well incorporated, and you have a thick mixture that holds together.
- Take small portions of the mixture and form them into patties, about the size of your palm.
- In a frying pan, add oil and heat it over medium heat. Check if the oil is ready by dropping a tiny bit of the mixture in; if it sizzles, you’re good to go!
Cooking
- Carefully place the patties into the hot oil, avoiding overcrowding the pan.
- Fry each patty for about 3-4 minutes on one side until they turn golden brown before flipping.
- Once the first side is golden, gently flip the fritters. Let them continue cooking for another 3-4 minutes until both sides are crispy and beautifully browned.
- Remove the fritters from the pan and place them on paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
- These fritters are best enjoyed fresh out of the pan. Serve them warm with your favorite dipping sauces!
Notes
To store, keep fritters in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. For reheating, use the oven to retain crispiness.
