Cheesy Chicken Fritters

 Cheesy Chicken Fritters are a savory, crispy treat that’s perfect for any occasion. Made with tender shredded chicken, melted cheddar cheese, and a hint of seasoning, these fritters are golden brown on the outside and deliciously cheesy on the inside. Whether you’re looking for a fun appetizer, a snack, or a meal, these fritters are sure to satisfy your cravings with every bite!

Ingredients:

• 1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese
• 2 large eggs
• 2 green onions, finely chopped
• 2 tbsp fresh dill or parsley, finely chopped (optional)
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (you can also use almond flour for a low-carb option)
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Olive oil or vegetable oil, for frying

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Chicken: Begin by cutting the chicken into small pieces. Then, using a food processor, pulse the chicken until it’s finely chopped (not pureed, you want some texture).
2. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped chicken, shredded cheese, eggs, green onions, dill or parsley, flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
3. Form the Fritters: Using your hands, take a portion of the mixture and shape it into a patty. Depending on your preference, these can be small bite-sized fritters or larger patty-sized ones.
4. Fry the Fritters: In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Once hot, carefully place the fritters into the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry them for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they’re golden brown and cooked through.

1. Drain and Serve: Once cooked, transfer the fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Continue this process until all the fritters are cooked.
2. Serving: Serve the cheesy chicken fritters hot with your favorite dipping sauce, like a garlic aioli, tzatziki, or ranch dressing.

Tips:

• For an extra touch of flavor, consider adding some grated Parmesan to the mix.
• You can also incorporate finely chopped vegetables such as bell peppers or zucchini for added nutrition and flavor.

My grandma used to cook this, and I feared the recipe was lost. Thankfully, I stumbled upon it, and it’s tastier than ever!

 Ingredients:

Peach Pudding Base:

5 cups diced peaches (peeled, fresh or frozen)

1 cup granulated sugar

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 cup whole milk

4 tsp baking powder

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 tsp cinnamon

1 tsp sea salt

Luscious Topping:

3 tbsp unsalted butter

3/4 cup granulated sugar

3/4 cup brown sugar

3 cups water

1/2 tsp cinnamon

Steps to Peachy Perfection:

Warm up your oven to 400°F. Ready a 9×13 baking dish with a light greasing.

Merge the diced peaches, flour, sugar, milk, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and vanilla extract in a mixing bowl until everything comes together.

For the topping: melt butter in a saucepan. Introduce the brown sugar, granulated sugar, and water. Allow a gentle boil until the sugar melts in.

Shift the peach base into your baking dish.

Slowly cascade the topping mixture over the base, keeping the spoon and whisk away.

Bake in the oven until you see a golden crust forming and sense that delightful bubbly feel – roughly 50 minutes.

Once out of the oven, allow a cooling moment. Spoon out the warm Tennessee Peach Pudding and consider dressing it up with some vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or even a cool whip dollop. Dive into a taste that’s reminiscent of Southern summers.

   Absolutely! They freeze well for up to 2 months. Just place them in an airtight container, separating layers with parchment paper.
3. How do I store these treats?
