Cheesy Spicy Chicken Fritters Recipe: Crispy, Flavorful & Easy to Make


  • Author: Mary

Ingredients

Scale

  • 1.5 lbs chicken breasts, cubed into small pieces

  • Chipotle powder, onion powder, garlic powder, dried oregano, and salt to taste

  • 2 eggs

  • 1/3 cup Greek yogurt

  • 1/3 cup potato starch or all-purpose flour

  • 4 oz shredded mozzarella cheese

  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh dill

  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Optional Dip:

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise

  • 1/4 cup yellow mustard

  • 2 tablespoons honey

  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar

  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder

  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika

  • Salt to taste


Instructions

 

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Cube the chicken into small, bite-sized pieces.

  2. Season the Chicken: In a bowl, toss the chicken pieces with chipotle powder, onion powder, garlic powder, dried oregano, and salt to taste. Ensure all pieces are well-coated.

  3. Make the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Whisk in the Greek yogurt, potato starch (or flour), shredded mozzarella, chopped dill, salt, and pepper.

  4. Combine Chicken and Batter: Add the seasoned chicken to the batter mixture. Mix thoroughly to ensure the chicken is evenly coated.

  5. Marinate: Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.

  6. Cook the Fritters: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, scoop about 1/3 cup of the chicken mixture into the skillet, flattening slightly to form fritters. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer cooked fritters to a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat with remaining mixture, adding more oil as needed.

  7. Optional Dip: In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, yellow mustard, honey, white vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and salt. Mix well until smooth. Serve alongside the fritters.
