Ingredients

1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast
2 large eggs
¼ cup buttermilk
⅓ cup all purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon garlic powder
1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
½ cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
2 tablespoons green onions, finely sliced
vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

Cut the chicken breasts into small chunks, about ⅛ inch pieces.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and buttermilk. In a larger bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix together until it is well incorporated. Add in the chicken, mozzarella, sharp cheddar, and green onions. Mix well to evenly distribute the ingredients.
Heat 1-inch of oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Once the oil is hot, drop the batter in, about ¼ cup scoops, and fry on each side for about 4-5 minutes. The fritters should be golden brown and the chicken fully cooked.
Remove from the oil and place on a paper towel lined plate to cool a while before enjoying.

Notes

Store leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
These fritters are best served with a dipping sauce, I suggest Garlic Aioli or Fry Sauce.
If you don’t have buttermilk, you can make some by mixing ¼ cup whole milk with 1 tablespoon lemon juice or white vinegar, just mix the two together and let it sit for about 5 minutes before using.
