Ingredients
Scale
Fritter Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
For Frying
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Mix the Fritter Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, eggs, green onions, parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until everything is evenly incorporated.
- Shape the Fritters: Use your hands to form small patties from the mixture, about 2-3 inches in diameter, ensuring they hold together well.
- Fry the Fritters: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the fritters in batches without overcrowding the pan. Fry each side for about 3-4 minutes until they turn golden brown and achieve a crispy exterior.
- Drain and Serve: Remove the fritters from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch or spicy mayo.
Notes
- Make sure the oil is hot before adding the fritters to ensure a crispy texture.
- You can substitute cheddar with any other cheese you prefer.
- For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free breadcrumbs.
- These fritters can be reheated in the oven to retain their crispiness.
