Ingredients:

• 2 large eggs
• 680 grams (1 1/2 lb) chicken breasts (3 large), cut into 1/2-inch cubes
• 80 ml (1/3 cup) mayonnaise
• 150 grams (1 1/3 cups) of shredded mozzarella cheese
• 40 grams (1/3 cup) all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
• 2 tablespoons extra light olive oil (or any high-heat cooking oil)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
• 1/8 teaspoon black pepper

Garlic Aioli Dip (Optional):

• 1 garlic clove, pressed
• 80 ml (1/3 cup) mayonnaise
• 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon black pepper

Directions:

In a large mixing bowl, cube the chicken breasts into about half-inch pieces using a sharp knife. A helpful hint is to partly freeze the chicken breasts before slicing them.

Add the eggs, mayonnaise, flour, shredded mozzarella, dill, salt, and black pepper to the mixing bowl. Give everything a quick stir. Tent with plastic wrap and chill for at least two hours, preferably overnight.

Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large nonstick pan over medium heat. When the oil is ready, carefully drop in a heaping tablespoon of the chicken mixture. Using the back of a spoon, gently press down on the tops, then sauté, uncovered, for three to four minutes, until the bottoms are golden and the chicken is completely cooked. Add more oil as needed. Repeat with the remaining chicken mixture.

To make the garlic aioli dip, mix all the ingredients in a small dish or liquid measuring cup until smooth.

Serve the chicken fritters hot with the garlic aioli dip, if desired. Enjoy!

Notes:

• For a more tender and juicy chicken, you can marinate the chicken cubes in the egg mixture for a few hours or overnight.
• You can also add some chopped onions, bell peppers, or jalapenos to the mixture for added flavor and texture.
• Leftover fritters can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

These cheesy chicken fritters are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that the whole family will love. The combination of juicy chicken melted cheese, and fresh dill makes for a savory and satisfying dish. Serve them as an appetizer, snack, or main course with your favorite dipping sauce.
