3) Ingredients for Cheesy Chicken Fritters

Cooked Chicken Breast Shred or chop leftover or rotisserie chicken into small pieces. Tender and juicy chicken is the star of the show.

Eggs These act like glue to hold all that cheesy chicken goodness together. Don’t skip them unless you’re aiming for a stovetop disaster. 😂

Mayonnaise Sounds odd? Trust me, it keeps everything moist and adds this subtle creaminess that makes people go hmm…what’s in here?

Flour A little bit of all-purpose flour goes a long way. If you’re going low carb, almond flour works too.

Shredded Mozzarella Stretchy, melty, and just plain amazing. The cheesier the better, right?

Garlic Powder, Salt, and Pepper The holy trinity of flavor. Keep it simple but punchy.

Chives or Green Onions Adds freshness, a pop of color, and a mild oniony kick.

Oil for Frying Don’t drown them, just enough to get them nice and golden on each side.

4) How to Make Cheesy Chicken Fritters

Step 1. Toss everything into a bowl. Chicken, eggs, mayo, flour, cheese, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and chives. Mix until it looks like you might be onto something delicious.

Step 2. Preheat a skillet with some oil over medium heat. Just enough to shimmer, not sizzle like the Fourth of July.

Step 3. Scoop big spoonfuls into the pan. Flatten a bit. Think mini pancakes but savory and way more exciting.

Step 4. Cook each side 3 to 4 minutes. You want golden-brown and crispy—not burnt hockey pucks.

Step 5. Transfer to a paper towel to drain. Let them cool just enough so you don’t burn your tongue going in for a taste.
