Cheesy Chicken Fritters Recipe

Ingredients:

• - 1 ½ lbs boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into small pieces  
• - 2 medium eggs  
• - ⅓ cup almond flour  
• - 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese  
• - 2 tbsp fresh basil, chopped  
• - 2 tbsp parsley, chopped  
• - 2 tbsp fresh chopped chives  
• - 1 tbsp olive oil  
• - ½ tsp garlic powder  
• - Salt and pepper to taste  

Instructions:

1. Prep the Chicken: Cut the boneless chicken breast into small bite-sized pieces. You want them small enough to cook through quickly but large enough to maintain a meaty texture in the fritters.  

2. Mix the Ingredients: In a large bowl, add the chicken pieces, eggs, almond flour, shredded mozzarella, chopped basil, parsley, and chives. Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir everything together until fully combined. The mixture should hold its shape when scooped.  

3. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Make sure the oil is hot enough to crisp up the fritters but not too hot that it burns them.  

4. Form the Fritters: Using a spoon or small scoop, form the chicken mixture into small patties. Flatten them slightly to ensure even cooking.  

5. Cook the Fritters: Place the patties into the hot skillet, leaving space between each fritter. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and cooked through. Adjust the cooking time as needed based on the thickness of your fritters.  

6. Serve and Enjoy: Once the fritters are golden brown and cooked through, remove them from the skillet and drain them on a paper towel-lined plate. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce or side dish.

These cheesy chicken fritters are a delicious, versatile dish that you can customize to suit your taste. Whether you enjoy them plain or with a side of dipping sauce, they’re sure to become a favorite in your household!
