Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken Mixture
    Start by dicing the chicken breasts into small, even pieces. In a large bowl, combine chicken, shredded cheese, eggs, flour, mayonnaise, garlic, green onions, salt, pepper, and paprika. Mix until everything is well coated and forms a thick, sticky batter.
  2. Heat the Pan
    Melt the butter or heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet on medium. The oil should be hot but not smoking—this ensures the fritters get a crispy, golden crust without burning.
  3. Fritter Shaping and Frying
    Scoop about 2 tablespoons of mixture per fritter and gently flatten them into small patties. Place them in the pan, leaving space between each one. Pan-fry for 3–4 minutes per side, until nicely browned and cooked all the way through.
  4. Drain and Serve
    Set the cooked fritters on a paper towel–covered plate to remove excess oil . Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce—garlic aioli, sour cream, or spicy ketchup are great options.
Beginner Tip:
Add 1 more tablespoon of flour if the mixture seems too moist. If it’s too dry, mix in a bit more mayonnaise or a splash of milk.
