These crispy, cheesy chicken fritters are the perfect appetizer or light meal. The savory chicken filling is encased in a golden-brown, crunchy batter. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce for a truly indulgent treat.

Ingredients:

For the Chicken Filling:

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, ground
  • 1/2 onion, finely chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

For the Batter:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Chicken Filling:
    • In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, onion, garlic, salt, pepper, and Parmesan cheese. Mix well until thoroughly combined.
  2. Make the Batter:
    • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
    • Gradually add the beaten egg and milk to the dry ingredients, whisking until smooth.
    • Stir in the vegetable oil.
  3. Form the Fritters:
    • Using your hands, shape the chicken mixture into small, golf-ball-sized balls.
    • Dip each ball into the batter, coating it completely.
  4. Fry the Fritters:
    • Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot over medium heat.
    • Carefully drop the battered chicken balls into the hot oil, working in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
    • Fry the fritters until golden brown and crispy on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
  5. Drain and Serve:
    • Remove the fritters from the oil using a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
    • Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as marinara sauce, ranch dressing, or sweet chili sauce.

Tips:

  • For extra flavor, add your favorite herbs and spices to the chicken filling.
  • You can also use a variety of cheeses, such as cheddar or mozzarella, in the filling.
  • If you prefer a healthier option, bake the fritters in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • For a fun twist, serve these fritters on skewers with a variety of dipping sauces.

Enjoy your delicious, homemade cheesy chicken fritters!
