Ingredients

• Chicken, cut into bite-sized pieces
• Eggs
• Flour
• Parmesan cheese
• Mozzarella cheese
• Garlic, minced
• Assorted seasonings

Preparation

1. Prep the Chicken: Begin by cutting the chicken into exceptionally small pieces, ensuring that they are bite-sized for a delightful eating experience. Place the chicken pieces in a bowl.
2. Mix the Ingredients: In the same bowl, add eggs, flour, Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, minced garlic, and a selection of your favorite seasonings. Using a spoon, meticulously mix the ingredients until they form a cohesive and well-combined mixture.
3. Heat the Pan: Heat a large frying pan over medium to low heat. Add a modest amount of oil to the pan, ensuring it is evenly distributed. Consider using cooking spray to prevent the fritters from sticking, as the recipe uses minimal oil.
4. Cook the Fritters: Once the pan is sufficiently heated, spoon approximately ¼ cup of the chicken mixture per fritter into the pan. Be mindful not to overcrowd the pan to allow for even cooking. A suggestion is to cook three fritters at a time. Cook the fritters for about 10 minutes each, turning them a few times to achieve a golden-brown perfection. It is crucial to maintain the cooking temperature at a moderate level to ensure the fritters cook evenly, avoiding the risk of being overly cooked on the outside and undercooked inside.
5. Storage: Once cooked, these delectable fritters can be stored in the refrigerator and freeze exceptionally well, making them a convenient and time-saving option for future meals.
