📝 Ingredients:
2 large chicken breasts (about 500 g), finely chopped
2 large eggs
3 tbsp mayonnaise or Greek yogurt
3 tbsp all-purpose flour (or cornstarch for extra crispiness)
100 g (1 cup) shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese
1 small onion, finely chopped (optional but recommended)
1 garlic clove, minced
Salt and black pepper to taste
Fresh herbs (like parsley or dill), chopped – optional
Oil for frying
🍳 Directions:
- Prepare the chicken mixture:
Finely chop the chicken breasts into tiny cubes (or pulse them quickly in a food processor).
In a bowl, mix the chicken with eggs, mayonnaise, flour, cheese, garlic, salt, pepper, and herbs. - Rest the batter:
Cover and refrigerate for about 20–30 minutes — this helps the texture set. - Cook:
Heat a bit of oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Spoon portions of the mixture (about 2 tbsp each) into the pan and flatten slightly.
Fry for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and fully cooked through. - Serve hot:
These are perfect with sour cream, garlic sauce, or a light salad on the side.
