🧀 Cheesy Chicken Fritters Recipe
Ingredients (makes ~12 fritters)
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (rotisserie chicken works great)
- 1 cup grated cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a mix)
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (plus extra for coating)
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- Salt & pepper to taste
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- Prepare the Mixture
- In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken, cheese, breadcrumbs, onion, garlic, parsley, eggs, salt, and pepper.
- Mix until it holds together—if too loose, add a bit more breadcrumbs.
- Form the Fritters
- Shape into small patties (2–3 inches in diameter).
- Optional: coat lightly in extra breadcrumbs for extra crunch.
- Cook the Fritters
- Heat a few tablespoons of oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
- Fry fritters 3–4 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.
- Drain on paper towels.
- Serve
- Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce (ranch, aioli, or sweet chili).
💡 Pro Tips:
- Add chopped bell peppers or corn for extra flavor and texture.
- For a lighter version, bake at 200°C (400°F) for 15–20 minutes, flipping halfway.
- Sprinkle a little extra cheese on top right after frying for a melty finish.
