Directions
1. To make the cheesy chicken fritters recipe: Into a large bowl, add diced chicken, almond flour, eggs, mozzarella, parmesan, spring onion, Jalapeño, parsley, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine.
2. Heat oil in a large non-stick pan over medium-low heat. With an ice cream scoop or a large spoon, scoop into the chicken mixture and transfer it to the pan, then slightly flatten to make a fritter. Don’t overcrowd the pan, cook the fritters in batches to ensure even cooking.
3. Fry until golden brown on both sides, about 6-8 minutes. Make sure to cook the chicken fritters at medium-low temp, otherwise, they will burn on the outside and won’t get well cooked in the inside. Garnish with more sliced spring onion and serve immediately with your favorite dip: mayonnaise, chipotle aioli, Sriracha or even ketchup. Enjoy!

I parcooked the chicken to be on the safe side. The flavor was fantastic. I had a hard time flipping them because I'm in a wheelchair. I will try to convert them to be cooked in the oven.

I used ground chicken and whole wheat panko, and it worked great. I left out the jalapenos but added in some chopped bacon. Really good with bbq sauce.

Used regular flour and ground chicken. These turned out great. Used a large ice cream scoop to help keep the size uniform and pressed them down with a spatula. WOW all around from my family.

Love these, but had to change a few things. I use regular flour and it works fine. I had trouble getting the chicken cooked before the outside of the Pattie’s got overcooked. It’s also very hard to cut raw chicken small enough. So I Eason and cook the breasts while then shred them. You can’t leave chunks. I actually use a hand spinning processor type gadget. Then mix everything and make Patties. Then they stick like crazy even in olive oil so we moved to a non stick griddle with cooking spray and they come out perfect without sticking.

Patties didn’t cook well. Not sure if my stove top is off in it calibration or what. It was a mess with no browning at all.

The taste was good. I'm not very experienced at finely chopping chicken or jalapeños. It took me 2 hours cook this in batches, and they kept falling apart. I was really frustrated. Next time I'll buy ground chicken and pre-chopped jalapeños.

I have made something similar that turned out well using canned chicken. It might be good to cut it into smaller pieces. These cook well on a waffle iron like as well.

These look so good!! I'm guessing you use raw chicken breast? Would it work with canned chicken breast?

Are you chopping the chicken up by hand or another way?

These are sooo good!! I’m wondering if the patties can be frozen either before they are fried or after? Thanks for a great recipe!!
