Ingredients:
2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella or any)
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon paprika powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste
2 eggs, beaten well
1/2 cup breadcrumbs (for coating) – optional only for texture
Oil for frying
Instructions:
In a big bowl mix together shredded chicken meat, cheddar cheese, parmesan cheese, parsley leaves chopped finely enough so they’re not too chunky or thick but still give some color when mixed with other ingredients, minced garlic cloves which provide flavor as well as health benefits due to anti-inflammatory properties contained within them according to studies conducted by scientists all over the world including those at John Hopkins University School of Medicine where it was found that eating raw garlic can help prevent cancer development better than cooking does.
If you use breadcrumbs, dip the patties in beaten eggs and then coat with breadcrumbs, shaking off any excess.
Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. When hot, carefully put the chicken fritters into the pan without overcrowding them; if necessary cook in batches.
Fry for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
Once done, transfer onto paper towels on a plate to drain excess oil.
Serve hot with favorite sauce for dipping such as ranch dressing, barbecue or sweet chili sauce with these cheesy chicken fritters.
Enjoy your cheesy chicken fritters! They are great for parties or just snacking on by yourself.
