Here’s a recipe for Cheesy Chicken Fritters:
Ingredients:
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (plain or seasoned)
- Vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, green onions, parsley, minced garlic, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine all the ingredients.
- Add the beaten eggs to the chicken mixture and stir until everything is evenly coated.
- Gradually add the breadcrumbs to the chicken mixture, stirring until it reaches a thick and cohesive consistency. You may need to adjust the amount of breadcrumbs depending on the moisture level of the mixture.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Using a spoon or cookie scoop, scoop out portions of the chicken mixture and form them into patties or fritters. Place the formed fritters onto a plate or baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Carefully place the fritters into the hot oil, working in batches to avoid overcrowding the skillet. Fry the fritters for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Once the fritters are cooked through and crispy on the outside, transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
- Serve the Cheesy Chicken Fritters hot, garnished with additional chopped parsley or grated Parmesan cheese if desired. Enjoy them as a delicious appetizer, snack, or main dish!
These Cheesy Chicken Fritters are crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and packed with flavor from the combination of chicken and cheese. They’re perfect for serving with your favorite dipping sauce or as part of a meal. Enjoy!
