Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast
- 1 medium egg
- 3 tablespoons flour or almond flour
- 1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro finely chopped
- 1/2 shallot finely chopped
- 1 green onion chopped
- 3 tablespoons olive oil for frying
Instructions
- Mince the chicken with a sharp knife.
- Mix the chicken, egg, flour, garlic powder, salt, and pepper, mozzarella, cilantro, shallots and half of the green onions in a bowl until well combined.
- Heat oil in a large pan over medium heat. Drop about 1/4 cup of the mixture into the pan and flatten. Continue until the pan is full. Don't overcrowd the pan. It’s better to cook in batches.
- Fry until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165° F, about 4 minutes per side.
- Serve with the remaining green onions as garnish.
Notes
- If the fritters are browning too fast, turn down the heat.
- You can replace the flour with almond flour, if you wish.
- You can use a different type of cheese, but go with one that’s lower in fat so the fritters don’t become greasy.
