Ingredients
  • Chicken thighs - 500 gms, boneless & skinless
  • Broccoli - 1 small head, about 1 cup of florets
  • Eggs - 3
  • Mozzarella - 100 gms, grated
  • Italian seasoning - 1 tsp
  • Garlic powder - 1 tsp
  • Onion powder - 1 tsp
  • Chilli flakes - 1 tsp
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • Olive oil for shallow frying
Instructions
  1. Wash and pat dry the boneless and skinless chicken thighs. Cut each chicken thigh into tiny pieces and take them in a bowl.
  2. Cut the broccoli into florets and wash them well. Then finely chop each floret. Transfer them to the bowl with chicken.
  3. Now to the same bowl with chicken & broccoli, add the eggs, onion & garlic powder, Italian seasoning, chilli flakes, grated mozzarella and salt & pepper to taste.
  4. Using a spatula, give a very good mix to evenly distribute the aromatics, spices & seasoning within the chicken and broccoli. Take time to mix for best results.
  5. Once you are happy with the mixture, it’s time to cook them. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a couple tablespoons of olive oil to it.
  6. Once the oil is warm, bring the heat to low.
  7. Then take about 2 tablespoons of the broccoli chicken fritters mixture using an ice-cream scoop or a large spoon and drop it carefully into the hot frying pan.
  8. Press the mixture with the back of the spoon or ice-cream scoop to flatten it evenly. Similarly, spoon a couple more fritters if you have space in your frying pan.
  9. Let the broccoli chicken fritters cook undisturbed for 8 to 10 minutes on low heat. Once the bottom is cooked it will easily be released from the pan.
  10. Flip over the broccoli chicken fritters and let the other side cook for 7 to 8 minutes. Once both sides of the fritters are nicely golden brown, your broccoli chicken fritters are ready!
  11. Take them out on a platter and make more fritters with the remaining mixture similarly.
  12. Serve your warm high protein cheesy broccoli chicken fritters with a side of fresh salad and a yogurt dip! Enjoy!
