Ingredients
For the Fritters:
- 1 lb 450g chicken breast, minced
- 2 cups 200g broccoli florets, finely chopped
- ½ cup 60g breadcrumbs
- ¼ cup 25g grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 large egg
- ¼ cup 15g chopped fresh parsley
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 –3 tbsp olive oil for frying
For Serving (Optional):
- Yogurt dip ranch dressing, or sriracha mayo
Instructions
Prep the Mixture
- In a large bowl, I combine 1 lb minced chicken, 2 cups chopped broccoli, ½ cup breadcrumbs, ¼ cup Parmesan, 1 egg, ¼ cup parsley, ¼ tsp garlic powder, salt, and pepper, mixing until well blended for cohesive healthy chicken cakes.
Form the Fritters
- I shape the mixture into small patties (about 2 tbsp each), making roughly 12–14 fritters, ensuring they hold together for crispy chicken fritters.
Cook the Fritters
- I heat 2–3 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. I add the fritters, cooking 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (165°F internal temperature for chicken).
Drain and Serve
- I transfer the fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil, then serve hot with yogurt dip or sriracha mayo, enjoying these savory broccoli patties.
