There’s something incredibly satisfying about the combination of tender, juicy chicken, gooey melted cheese, and the perfect blend of seasonings. These Cheesy Chicken Fritters are not only easy to make but also packed with flavor in every bite. The addition of both mozzarella and Parmesan cheese gives them a rich, creamy texture, while the fresh parsley and garlic add a burst of freshness.
Ingredients:
- 1 lb (450g) ground chicken
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup almond flour (or all-purpose flour)
- 2 large eggs
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (for frying)
Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, almond flour, eggs, garlic, onion, parsley, salt, pepper, and paprika. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Using a spoon or your hands, shape the chicken mixture into small patties or fritters, about 2-3 inches in diameter.
- Carefully place the fritters into the hot skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove the fritters from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
- Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce or a side salad.
