Cheesy chicken fritters

Ingredients:

• 1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/4 cup chopped green onions
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup chopped parsley
• 2 large eggs
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Olive oil for frying

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Chicken:
   • Cook the chicken breasts by boiling, baking, or grilling them until fully cooked. Then shred the chicken using two forks or by pulsing in a food processor until shredded.
2. Mix Ingredients:
   • In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, chopped green onions, minced garlic, chopped parsley, eggs, and all-purpose flour. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.
3. Season:
   • Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste. Remember that the cheese can add some saltiness, so taste the mixture before adding too much salt.
4. Form Fritters:
   • Heat a skillet over medium heat and add enough olive oil to coat the bottom of the skillet.
   • Take a spoonful of the chicken mixture and form it into a small patty or fritter shape. Place it onto the skillet. You can adjust the size of the fritters according to your preference.
5. Cook:
   • Cook the fritters for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Make sure to cook them in batches to avoid overcrowding the skillet.
6. Serve:
   • Once the fritters are cooked through and crispy on the outside, remove them from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
   • Serve the cheesy chicken fritters hot as a snack, appetizer, or main dish. You can pair them with your favorite dipping sauce such as ranch dressing, marinara sauce, or barbecue sauce.
