Cheesy Chicken Fritters

These Cheesy Chicken Fritters are a surprising way to use chicken breast, but it really works. These fritters are tender, juicy and so flavorful. If you love easy chicken recipes, THESE chicken patties are for you!
Oh P.S. that garlic aoili sauce is all kinds of delicious. It whips up fast and easy! You will want to dip you chicken fritters, fries and veggies into it forever and it also works fabulously on sandwiches and burgers.
Prep time: 10 min
Cook time: 20 min
Total time: 30 min
Makes: 16-18 Fritters
Ingredients
for Chicken Fritters:
1 1/2 lbs chicken breasts (3 large)
2 large eggs
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1/3 cup all-purpose flour or cornstarch or potato starch for gluten free
4 oz mozzarella cheese (1 1/3 cups shredded)
1 1/2 Tbsp chopped fresh dill
1/2 tsp salt or to taste
1/8 tsp black pepper
2 Tbsp Extra light olive oil to saute (or any high heat cooking oil)
Ingredients for Garlic Aioli Dip (Optional)
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1 garlic clove pressed
1/2 Tbsp lemon juice
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp black pepper
Instructions
Using a sharp knife, dice chicken into 1/3" thick pieces and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Tip: If chicken breast is partially frozen, it will be a little bit easier to slice.
Into the mixing bowl, add remaining batter ingredients: 2 eggs, 1/3 cup mayonnaise, 1/3 cup flour, 1 1/3 cups shredded mozzarella, 1 1/2 Tbsp dill, 1/2 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp black pepper, or season to taste.
Stir the mixture until well combined, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate 2 hours or overnight.
Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat and add 2 Tbsp oil.
When oil is hot, add the chicken mixture a heaping Tablespoon at a time.
Slightly flatten out the tops with the back of your spoon and sauté uncovered 3-4 min on the first side, then flip and saute 3 min on the second side or until outsides are golden brown and chicken is fully cooked through*
Repeat with remaining fritters adding more oil as needed.
To make the aioli (if using), combine all ingredients in a small bowl or measuring cup and stir together until smooth.
Recipe Notes
*To test for doneness, cut a fritter in half and the chicken should be completely white inside. If your chicken patty is browning too fast, adjust your heat down.
