Ever bite into something so good it makes you pause and reevaluate your life choices? 😅 These Cheesy Chicken Fritters did that to me—and I’m not ashamed. They’re golden, crispy on the outside, and packed with juicy chicken and gooey cheese inside. Perfect for a weekday meal that doesn’t feel like a chore. I first threw these together on a lazy Tuesday when the fridge looked empty except for some leftover chicken, a handful of shredded cheese, and vibes. A few spices, a quick mix, and boom—my kids were suddenly silent at dinner. If you know, you know. 🙃 They’re versatile too. Use rotisserie chicken, ground chicken, or even turkey if that’s what you’ve got. Toss ’em in the air fryer if you’re feeling fancy. Whether you’re into meal prep or just tired of takeout, these fritters deliver. And hey, they reheat like a dream. So let’s get cheesy, shall we? 🧀

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.
