Instructions:
Step 1
Slice the chicken breasts into small, bite-sized pieces.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine the sliced chicken, eggs, all-purpose flour, shredded cheese, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Step 4
Cover the mixing bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator. Let the mixture chill for about 30 minutes.
Step 5
Chilling helps the fritters hold their shape better during cooking.
Step 6
In a large skillet or frying pan, heat the cooking oil over medium heat until it’s hot but not smoking.
Step 7
Once the oil is hot, carefully drop spoonfuls of the chicken mixture into the skillet, spacing them apart to avoid overcrowding.
Step 8
Use the back of the spoon to flatten each fritter slightly.
Step 9
Cook the fritters for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Step 10
You may need to cook them in batches, depending on the size of your skillet.
Step 11
To ensure the fritters are cooked through, you can cut into one to check that the chicken is no longer pink in the center.
Serve:
Once cooked, transfer the fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve the cheesy chicken fritters hot and enjoy!
