Tender chicken fritters recipe! These chicken fritters are tender and flavorful with the addition of veggies and spices to the meat, served them with marinara sauce, a no fuss weekday meal, delicious warm or cold!

Make the most of your shopping with these flavorful and tender chicken fritters!

What I like with fritters or meatballs is that they are very advantageous, you can double the size of your fritters by adding your favorite goodies and you can make them each time different.

For this recipe, I went the easy way with basic ingredients and served my fritters with a store bought marinara sauce and some polenta. We ate the leftovers cold and they were still as delicious and tender.

I like to add a slice or two of bread soaked in milk to my meatballs or fritters, it gives them moisture and softness, specially to chicken meatballs as they can easily be somewhat dry.

I have ground my chicken breasts in my food processor: cut the chicken breasts in chunks, add them to the bowl of your food processor, pulse until the grounded meat forms a ball.

I used a large ice cream scoop to form my patties, added the meatballs into my frying pan and then flattened them with a large spatula. My patties were about 4x4 inches (10x10 cm)

These chicken fritters can easily be made in advance, bring them over for backyard parties or picnics.
