Broccoli Chicken Fritters
Crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, these healthy broccoli chicken fritters are the perfect protein-packed meal for busy weeknights.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds Chicken breasts or ground chicken
- 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 1 cup broccoli florets finely chopped
- 2 Eggs
- 2 tbsp fresh dill chopped
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 2 tsp oil for frying
Instructions
- If using chicken breasts, pulse chunks in a food processor until finely chopped. If using ground chicken, you are ready to go.
- Finely chop the broccoli. Steam the pieces in a microwave-safe bowl with a splash of water for 60 seconds. Drain excess water and let cool.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the chicken, cooled broccoli, eggs, panko, dill, and all spices. Mix gently by hand until just combined.
- Dampen hands with water to prevent sticking. Shape the mixture into patties, about half an inch thick.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the fritters for 3 to 4 minutes per side until deeply golden and cooked through.
- Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil before serving.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in a dry skillet for the best results.
