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!
