Kitchen Items
Mixing bowl
Cutting board
Sharp knife
Non-stick frying pan
Spatula
Measuring spoons
Grater
Small bowl
Ingredients
2 cups cooked chicken, finely chopped
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/3 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 large eggs
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons oil for frying
Instructions
Chop the cooked chicken into small pieces so the fritters hold together easily. Add it to a large mixing bowl.
Add mozzarella, cheddar, parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to the chicken. Mix everything gently using your hands or a spatula.
Crack the eggs into a small bowl and beat them lightly. Pour the beaten eggs into the chicken mixture.
Add the flour and mayonnaise to the bowl. Mix well until the batter becomes thick and sticky. The mixture should be able to hold its shape when scooped.
Heat oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Make sure the pan is well heated so the fritters crisp up properly.
Scoop about two tablespoons of the mixture for each fritter and place them gently on the pan. Flatten slightly with the spatula to form a patty shape.
Cook the fritters for 3–4 minutes on each side until they turn golden brown and crispy. Adjust heat if needed to avoid burning.
Transfer the cooked fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to remove excess oil. Continue cooking the rest of the mixture in batches.
Serve warm and enjoy the delicious cheesy pull in every bite.
Tips or Serving Suggestions
Use freshly cooked chicken breast or leftover rotisserie chicken for convenience.
Add finely chopped jalapeños or chili flakes for a spicy twist.
Pair the fritters with garlic mayo, ranch, or sweet chili sauce for extra flavor.
Serve them as a snack, appetizer, or even a quick light meal with a fresh salad.
Refrigerate leftovers for up to 2 days and reheat them in an air fryer for a crisp finish.
