Calories: 460kcal
- 1 lb chicken breast
- 5 tbsp mayonnaise
- 4 oz mozzarella cheese 1 1/3 cups shredded
- 2 eggs
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh dill
- 3 tbsp olive oil
For the Aioli Sauce:
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 1 tbsp mustard
- 1 garlic cloves
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh dill
- 1 tbsp chopped spring onion optional
- salt & pepper to taste
Process in a food processor 1 lb of the chicken breast with 5 tbsp of mayo until it looks like finely diced meat (not minced).
Transfer meat into a mixing bowl. Add 2 eggs, 1 1/3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese,1/3 cup all-purpose flour, and 2 tbsp chopped dill. Stir everything well until combined.
Heat over medium heat a large non-stick 9-inch skillet. Add 3 tbs of extra virgin olive oil. Scoop one full tablespoon (or flat ice-cream scoop) of fritters mixture, shape into a ball, and then flatten it slightly. The mixture is moist and sticky, so as to avoid getting messy hand, grease your finger in the olive oil. Repeat with remaining fritters.
Make sure the oil in the skillet is hot enough and add fritters. Fry for 4-5 minutes on each side. Transfer cheese chicken fritters to a paper towel-lined dish.
For the Aioli Sauce:
In a bowl mix ½ cup of mayonnaise ( either homemade or store-bought one) with the juice of a half lemon, 1 tsp of lemon zest, 1 tbsp of mustard and 1 garlic cloves. Add some chopped spring onions and dill. Season with salt and pepper if desired. Once you have all the ingredients together, simply transfer them in a sauceboat.
