Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked chicken breast, finely chopped
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 eggs
  • 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley or dill, chopped
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp salt, or to taste
  • 3 tbsp olive oil, for frying

Instructions

  1. Prepare the mixture: In a large bowl, combine the chopped chicken, mozzarella, eggs, flour, mayonnaise, garlic, herbs, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  2. Mix well: Stir until everything is evenly combined and the mixture holds together.
  3. Shape the fritters: Scoop small portions of the mixture and flatten them into patties.
  4. Heat the oil: Warm the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  5. Fry until golden: Cook the fritters for 3–4 minutes per side until crispy and golden brown. Make sure the centers are thoroughly heated.
  6. Drain and serve: Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and garnish with fresh dill or parsley.

Tips for Best Results

  • Chop the chicken finely so the fritters hold together.
  • Avoid overcrowding the pan to help them crisp evenly.
  • Serve with garlic yogurt sauce, ranch dressing, or a fresh salad.
  • For an air fryer version, cook at 190°C (375°F) for 10–14 minutes, flipping halfway and lightly spraying with oil.
