Servings: 4 -6 (makes 8 fritters)
Calories: 268kcal
Ingredients
- 2 cups minced cooked chicken
- ½ cup shredded cheese (such as cheddar or mozzarella)
- 1 egg
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon cumin or oregano (optional for more flavor)
- ¼ teaspoon salt (optional)
- ¼ cup minced broccoli (optional)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a medium bowl. Mix well with a spoon or clean hands.
- Form into fritters using ¼ cup batter in each. (I use a measuring cup to make this easy.)
- Warm the olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the fitters, allowing a little space in between for even cooking. Cook for 3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Be gentle when flipping over.
- Serve warm with a dipping sauce, as desired.
Notes
- Store cooked Chicken Fritters in an airtight storage container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Warm through on a heat-safe plate in the microwave for 30 seconds or for 2-3 minutes in an air fryer on 325 degrees F.
- Use leftover rotisserie chicken, grilled chicken, or pan-seared chicken.
- Add minced raw broccoli for a dose of veggies in the mix.
- Serve with dipping sauces such as ketchup, Cucumber Yogurt Sauce, sour cream, or salsa.
- Serve with fruit, pasta, rice, or any other side you like.
- Dairy-free: Use nondairy cheese.
