Ingredients For Chicken Fritters
- 1 1/2 lbs chicken breasts (3 large)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour or cornstarch or potato starch for gluten free
- 4 oz mozzarella cheese (1 1/3 cups shredded)
- 1 1/2 Tbsp chopped fresh dill
- 1/2 tsp salt or to taste
- 1/8 tsp black pepper
- 2 Tbsp Extra light olive oil to saute (or any high heat cooking oil)
- Ingredients for Garlic Aioli Dip (Optional)
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise
- 1 garlic clove pressed
- 1/2 Tbsp lemon juice
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp black pepper
Preparation:
- Using a sharp knife dice chicken into 1/3″ thick pieces and place them in a large mixing bowl. Tip: If chicken breast is partially frozen it will be a little bit easier to slice.
- Into the mixing bowl add remaining batter ingredients: 2 eggs 1/3 cup mayonnaise 1/3 cup flour 1 1/3 cups shredded mozzarella 1 1/2 Tbsp dill 1/2 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp black pepper or season to taste. Stir the mixture until well combined cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate 2 hours or overnight.
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat and add 2 Tbsp oil. When oil is hot add the chicken mixture a heaping Tablespoon at a time. Slightly flatten out the tops with the back of your spoon and sauté uncovered 3-4 min on the first side then flip and saute 3 min on the second side or until outsides are golden brown and chicken is fully cooked through* Repeat with remaining fritters adding more oil as needed.
- To make the aioli (if using) combine all ingredients in a small bowl or measuring cup and stir together until smooth.
- Recipe Notes
- *To test for doneness cut a fritter in half and the chicken should be completely white inside. If your chicken patty is browning too fast adjust your heat down.
- Enjoy !
