Chicken Fritters
Ingredients:
| INGREDIENTS | QUANTITY |
| Ground chicken | 1 pound |
| Cheddar cheese, shredded | 1 cup |
| Onion, finely chopped | 1 medium |
| Garlic cloves, minced | 2 |
| Fresh parsley, chopped | 2 tablespoons |
| Breadcrumbs | 1/2 cup |
| Egg | 1 |
| Salt and pepper | To taste |

How To Make Chicken Fritters:
- Step 1: Combining the Mix: In a mixing bowl, add the 1 pound ground chicken, 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1 medium finely chopped onion, 2 minced garlic cloves, and 2 tablespoons fresh parsley.
- Step 2: Binding Agent and Seasoning: Incorporate the 1/2 cup breadcrumbs and crack in the 1 egg. Sprinkle in salt and pepper to taste.
- Step 3: Mix and Shape the Fritters: Gently combine all the ingredients using your hands until just mixed. Take a portion of the mixture and shape it into a flattened round. Repeat this process until you’ve used up all the mixture.
- Step 4: Frying to Golden Perfection: In a skillet, heat olive oil (enough to coat the bottom of the pan) over medium-high heat. Ensure the oil is hot enough for frying.
- Step 5: Frying Process: Carefully place the shaped fritters into the hot oil (do not overcrowd the pan). Cook them until they turn golden brown on each side, ensuring they are cooked through completely (the internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F/74°C).
- Step 6: Drain and Rest: Once cooked, transfer the fritters to a paper towel-lined plate. This helps to remove excess oil and allows the fritters to cool slightly before serving.
