Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked chicken breast, finely chopped
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped green onions
  • 1 small jalapeño, finely minced

  1. In a large bowl, combine chicken, cheese, eggs, flour, green onions, jalapeño, mayonnaise, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until fully combined.
  2. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  3. Scoop about 2 tablespoons of mixture per fritter into the skillet and flatten slightly.
  4. Cook for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and heated through.
