Crispy Chicken Fritters
Ingredients
- 2 12.5- oz cans white premium chunk chicken breast
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon salt see notes
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/4 cup plain dried bread crumbs
- Additional bread crumbs
- Vegetable oil
Instructions
- Drain chicken very well. I place mine in a colander to drain for several minutes then press down on the chicken with a heavy bowl.
- Roughly chop chicken. I like the chicken to be uniform in size for consistent texture in the fritters (aim for about 1/4 inch pieces). Chopping the chicken also prevents any stray bits from poking out of the crispy coating.
- Add chicken, egg, Dijon mustard, salt and spices to a mixing bowl then stir with a fork until well combined. Stir in 1/4 cup bread crumbs.
- Pour additional bread crumbs into a shallow bowl or pie plate (about a cup or so). Portion chicken mixture into six fritters. Shape each fritter into a tight little hockey puck then coat with additional bread crumbs.
- Heat about 1/4 inch of oil in a large skillet over medium to medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, pan-fry chicken fritters on each side until golden brown and crispy. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Enjoy!
