Chicken Fritters (With Leftover Rotisserie Chicken)
If you're wondering how to use leftover rotisserie chicken in a tasty way or are just looking for one of the best chicken fritter recipes out there, you're in the right place. This recipe combines shredded chicken with cream cheese and a few pantry staples to make a meal that's to die for. They're extra crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and every bite of 'em is just as good - if not better - than the last.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups leftover shredded chicken breast, 9 oz in weight
- 2 tablespoon cream cheese, softened
- ¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoon all purpose flour
- 12 teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon salt, optional
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
1. Place the chicken in a bowl and chop it into small pieces using kitchen scissors or a knife. Once chopped, it should yield approximately 1.5 cups.
2. Add the cream cheese, cheddar, egg, flour, and salt (if needed) to the bowl with the chicken, then mix thoroughly until everything is well combined.
3. Heat a tablespoon of oil or butter in a frying pan over medium-low heat.
4. Scoop out heaping tablespoon-sized portions of the mixture onto the pan. Use the back of a spoon or a spatula to flatten and shape them into small fritters.
5. Cook the fritters for about 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until they turn golden brown.
6. Transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to cool slightly. The fritters will be crisp on the outside and tender on the inside.
