Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup (shredded) Cooked chicken breast
- 1 cup Fresh corn kernels
- 0.75 cup All-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cup Whole milk
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) Green onions
- 0.5 cup (shredded) Cheddar cheese
- 0.25 cup (for frying) Vegetable oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, ground black pepper, and garlic powder.
In a small bowl, beat the egg and then whisk it together with the milk.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the shredded chicken, fresh corn kernels, green onions, and shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the batter for each fritter and drop it into the hot oil, flattening slightly with the back of a spoon.
Cook each fritter for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Adjust heat as needed to avoid burning.
Remove the fritters from the pan and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve warm with your preferred dipping sauce, such as sweet chili sauce, sour cream, or aioli.
