Herb and Cheese Chicken Fritters
These easy, low carb Herb and Cheese Chicken Fritters are fresh, flavorful, and super versatile!
Ingredients
- 1 ½ lbs raw boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon light mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon dried dill weed
- ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
- 4 oz shredded 2% milk Mozzarella cheese, (about 1 cup)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Place the chicken breasts into the bowl of your food processor and cover with the lid. Pulse a few times or turn on for a few seconds until the chicken breasts are finely diced. Alternatively, you can finely dice the breasts by hand if you do not have a food processor.
- Transfer the finely diced chicken to a large mixing bowl and add the eggs, light mayonnaise, parsley, chives, basil, salt, garlic powder, pepper, dill weed, flour, and shredded Mozzarella cheese. Stir until well combined. Use a ¼ cup measuring cup to measure out 15 equal piles of the chicken mixture.
- Add a tablespoon of the olive oil to a large sauté pan, skillet, or griddle pan and bring over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add half of the chicken piles and push down on the top of each one with the back of a spoon or spatula to flatten it into a patty. Make sure the fritters aren’t crowding the pan and aren’t touching. Cook the fritters for 3-4 minutes until the bottoms are golden, and then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes until cooked through. Remove these fritters to a serving plate and add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the skillet. Cook the remaining fritters the same way (the second batch may cook slightly quicker) and transfer them to the serving plate when finished. Serve warm.
