Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 lbs chicken breasts diced into 1/3-inch pieces
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour or cornstarch for gluten-free
  • 4 oz mozzarella cheese shredded
  • 1 1/2 tbsp fresh dill chopped
  • 1/2 tsp salt or to taste
  • 1/8 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp olive oil for sautéing
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise for aioli
  • 1 clove garlic pressed
  • 1/2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/4 tsp salt for aioli
  • 1/8 tsp black pepper for aioli

Method
 

  1. Dice chicken into small 1/3-inch pieces and place in a large mixing bowl.
  2. Add eggs, mayonnaise, flour, mozzarella, dill, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours or overnight.
  3. Heat oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Spoon chicken mixture into pan in small mounds and flatten slightly.
  4. Cook fritters 3 to 4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Repeat with remaining mixture, adding oil if needed.
  5. For aioli, whisk together mayonnaise, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  6. Serve fritters hot with garlic aioli dip on the side.

Notes

Swap dill for parsley or add parmesan for extra flavor. These fritters also make excellent sliders or wraps.
