Grate the cheddar cheese and set it aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, minced garlic, parsley, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Crack the egg into the bowl and mix all the ingredients thoroughly until they are evenly incorporated.
Divide the chicken mixture into 8 equal portions. Flatten each portion into a small patty shape.
Place about a tablespoon of grated cheddar cheese into the center of each patty. Carefully fold the edges of the patty over the cheese, rolling it into a ball or oval shape to enclose the cheese completely.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the rissoles to the skillet, cooking in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Cook each rissole for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Ensure the internal temperature reaches at least 75Β°C (165Β°F).
Remove the cooked rissoles from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce or a side salad.
