Broccoli Chicken Fritters
Here’s a broccoli recipe that’s a little different to the usual – Broccoli Chicken Fritters! The combination of juicy chicken pieces and tender broccoli inside crispy golden fritters is seriously delicious. Flavored with garlic and parmesan, these fritters are a tasty meal or snack, or mini burgers. There’s a whole giant head of broccoli hidden in these!!
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again (and will probably keep saying it until the end of time) – you can fritter anything! And today, we’re frittering broccoli and chicken. Have you ever made fritters with chopped chicken before? I think most people think of using ground/mince meat for things in patty and fritter form, like these Chicken Patties. Using chopped chicken works a treat – I love how it makes the fritters nice and meaty. Thicker than usual fritters, like my favorite zucchini fritters. Bonus: clean hands! Extra bonus: hidden greens to the max. There’s an entire head of broccoli in this recipe!I love how these Broccoli Chicken Fritters are made with just enough batter to hold them together so they’re quite meaty, rather than pancake-like. Not that I don’t love pancakes, but these are intended to be a savoury meal, high in protein and veg!
