• 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/4 cup mayonnaise or Greek yogurt
• 2 garlic cloves, minced

• 1/3 cup flour or breadcrumbs

👨‍🍳 

Instructions

1. Prep the Chicken:
   Finely chop chicken breasts into small pieces (or use ground chicken for quicker prep).
2. Mix the Batter:
   In a large bowl, combine chicken, eggs, cheese, mayo, garlic, green onions, flour (or breadcrumbs), paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well until everything is fully incorporated.
3. Heat the Pan:
   Heat 2–3 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
4. Form the Fritters:
   Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the mixture per fritter and gently press into a patty shape.
5. Fry Until Golden:
   Place patties in the hot skillet and cook for 3–4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Avoid overcrowding the pan.
6. Drain & Serve:
   Transfer fritters to a paper towel–lined plate to remove excess oil.
