Ingredients
1.5 lbs chicken breast, finely diced
2 large eggs
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil for frying
Instructions
Step 1: Finely dice the chicken breasts into roughly 1/4-inch cubes and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Step 2: Add the eggs, mayonnaise, flour, shredded cheddar, shredded mozzarella, parsley, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to the bowl with the chicken.
Step 3: Stir the mixture thoroughly until all chicken pieces are evenly coated and the ingredients are well combined.
Step 4: Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Step 5: Using a large spoon or ice cream scoop, place mounds of the chicken mixture into the skillet. Flatten them slightly with the back of the spoon.
Step 6: Cook for 3-4 minutes on the first side until golden brown, then flip and cook for another 3 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted and crispy.
Step 7: Remove from the pan and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil before serving.
Notes
For a gluten-free version, replace the all-purpose flour with almond flour or a gluten-free blend.
