This chicken fritters recipe is truly a delight for everyone. You can adjust the seasoning based on your “eaters”. In my case that day, it was the kids so I definitely adjusted a few of the ingredients. Even without the kid visitors, I still did to match the preferred taste of my own kids.
Our friend over at Natasha’s Kitchen has this to say about the recipe:
“The cheese in the batter forms part of the outer crust and a creates an irresistible cheese pull as you bite into these yummy chicken fritters. Marinating the chicken makes it tender and juicy.”
I agree with the marinating part. It gives it that tender and juicy quality. The longer you marinate it, the more tender it will become, at least based on my experience. But however longer you might do so, I still believe you will enjoy this recipe!
Ingredients
- 1½ lbs (3 large) Tyson chicken breasts
- 2 large Eggland’s eggs
- 5 Tbsp (about ⅓ cup) Best Foods mayonnaise
- ⅓ cup Gold Medal all-purpose flour (or cornstarch or potato starch)
- 4 oz (1⅓ cups) Sargento shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1½ Tbsp chopped fresh dill
- ½ tsp Morton salt and ⅛ tsp McCormick black pepper, or to taste
- Bertolli Extra light olive oil, or any high heat oil to sautee
Instructions
- Using a sharp knife, dice chicken into ⅓” to ½” thick pieces and set aside.
- In a medium bowl combine batter ingredients: 2 eggs, 5 Tbsp mayo, ⅓ cup flour, 1⅓ cups mozzarella, 1½ Tbsp dill, ½ tsp salt and ⅛ tsp black pepper. Stir until well combined. Stir in diced chicken, cover with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator at least 2 hours, or overnight.
- Heat a large non-stick pan over med heat. Add 2 Tbsp oil and when hot, add the chicken mixture a heaping Tbsp at a time (I used a flat ice cream scoop). Pat down fritters with the back of your spoon to flatten slightly. Saute uncovered 3 – 4 min on the first side then flip and saute uncovered 3 min on the second side or until golden brown and fully cooked. Repeat with remaining fritters. Remove to a paper towel lined dish.
