Method
- Cut the chicken into chunks and place them in a food processor.
- Pulse for about 1minute for finely chopped pieces or less for coarsely ground meat (be careful not
to over-process the meat into a paste). The meat should hold together when pinched. Alternatively,
you can use ground chicken. - Next, hold the broccoli with the stem facing up and using a sharp knife, carefully separate the
florets, making downward cuts from the stem. - Bring a pot of water to boil over medium-high heat. Once the water starts to bubble, place the
broccoli florets on a steam basket and add it on top of the boiling water. - Cover with a lid and let the broccoli steam for 2-3 minutes. Once the broccoli is done, remove from
heat and allow it to cool. Chop it into small pieces. - Place the ground chicken, broccoli, bread crumbs, eggs, dill, and seasonings in a bowl.
- Using your clean hands, mix until all the ingredients are evenly combined. Rub your hands with a
bit of oil and pinch off a piece of meat mixture; shape it into a mini patty, about 1/2-inch thick. - Heat oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Cook the patties on each side until nicely golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Serve the fritters with your favorite dip.
