Chicken Fritters Recipe
This Chicken Fritters Recipe makes perfectly tender, cheesy, and flavorful chicken fritters: truly the best ones you'll ever have! Ready in less than 1 hour and so easy to make! Dip them in sour cream or your favorite sauce to take them to the next level!
Ingredients
- 1/2 lb (225 g) chicken breasts
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoon + 2 tsp mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoon + 2 tsp all-purpose flour or cornstarch
- 1/2 cup (55 g) shredded Gouda or mozzarella cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Extra light olive oil or vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken. Dice the chicken into small bite-sized pieces (about 1/3" inch or 0.8 cm). In a ziplock bag, combine the diced chicken with the eggs, mayo, flour or cornstarch, cheese, salt, and pepper. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
- Fry the chicken fritters. Add 1 tablespoon worth of your prepared chicken mixture to a hot skillet greased with oil, pat it down using the back of a spoon or a spatula and saute flipping it once. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side or until golden. Work in batches of 3-4 fritters to avoid overcrowding the skillet.
- Serve warm along with sour cream and dill (or smetana = Russian sour cream), mayo, Garlic Aioli, Marinara Dip Sauce, Creamy Chipotle Mayo or your favorite dipping sauce!
