6 Servings
Ingredients
- 2 12.5- oz cans white premium chunk chicken breast
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1/2 tsp salt adjust as per taste
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp onion powder
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/8 tsp dried thyme
- 1/4 cup plain dried bread crumbs
- Additional bread crumbs
- Vegetable oil
Instructions
- First, make sure to drain the canned chicken thoroughly using a colander. Press down gently on the chicken to get rid of any moisture.
- Next roughly chop the drained chicken into pieces that are about 1/4 inch, in size. This will ensure that the texture is consistent throughout.
- In a mixing bowl combine the chopped chicken with an egg, Dijon mustard, 1/2 tsp of salt, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper and dried thyme. Use a fork to stir everything until blended.
- To bind the mixture together add 1/4 cup of plain bread crumbs. Incorporate them into the mixture.
- Prepare a bowl with some extra bread crumbs. Shape the chicken mixture into six fritters. Coat each fritter generously with the additional bread crumbs from the bowl.
- Heat 1/4 inch of oil in a large skillet over medium to medium-high heat.
- Once the oil is hot enough carefully place each coated fritter in the skillet. Pan-fry them on each side until they turn brown and crispy.
- Transfer the cooked fritters onto a plate lined with paper towels to drain any oil. If you like you can garnish them with parsley, for added flavor and presentation. Serve these delicious Crispy Chicken Fritters. Enjoy!
