CHEESY CHICKEN FRITTERS

Fritters

1½ lbs chicken breasts (cut to very fine dice) (about 3 large breasts)

2 large eggs

1/3 cup mayonnaise

1/3 cup all-purpose flour

4 oz mozzarella cheese (1 1/3 cups shredded)

1½ tsp dried dill (but 1½ TBL fresh dill chopped)

1/2 tsp salt or to taste

1/8 tsp black pepper

2 Tbsp Extra light olive oil for cooking (or any high heat cooking oil)

Garlic Aioli Dip (Optional)

Mix the following together until smooth.

1/3 cup mayonnaise

1 garlic clove pressed

1/2 Tbsp lemon juice

1/4 tsp salt

1/8 tsp black pepper

Instructions

1. Mix all fritter ingredients together.

2. Refrigerate 2 hours to overnight.

3. Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat and add 2 Tbsp oil. When oil is hot, add the chicken mixture in mounds, 2 tablespoons at a time.

4. Slightly flatten out the tops with the back of your spoon or spatula.

5. Cook 3-4 minutes on the first side, then flip and cook 3 minutes on the second side or until outsides are golden brown and chicken is fully cooked through. (To test for doneness, cut a fritter in half and the chicken should be completely white inside. If your fritter is browning too fast, adjust your heat down).

6. Repeat with remaining fritters adding more oil as needed.

7. Serve with Aioli if using!
