Instructions:
- Prepare the Chicken: Begin by cutting the chicken into small pieces. Then, using a food processor, pulse the chicken until it’s finely chopped (not pureed, you want some texture).
- Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped chicken, shredded cheese, eggs, green onions, dill or parsley, flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Form the Fritters: Using your hands, take a portion of the mixture and shape it into a patty. Depending on your preference, these can be small bite-sized fritters or larger patty-sized ones.
- Fry the Fritters: In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Once hot, carefully place the fritters into the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry them for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they’re golden brown and cooked through.
- Drain and Serve: Once cooked, transfer the fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Continue this process until all the fritters are cooked.
- Serving: Serve the cheesy chicken fritters hot with your favorite dipping sauce, like a garlic aioli, tzatziki, or ranch dressing.
Tips:
- For an extra touch of flavor, consider adding some grated Parmesan to the mix.
- You can also incorporate finely chopped vegetables such as bell peppers or zucchini for added nutrition and flavor.
