Ingredients

1.5 lb
Chicken Breast (ground)
1 Cup
Bread crumbs (dry, grated, plain)
1 Cup
Broccoli (finely chopped)
2
Eggs
2 tbsp
Dill (chopped)
0.5 tsp
Onion Powder
0.5 tsp
Garlic Powder
0.25 tsp
Sea Salt
0.25 tsp
Black Pepper (ground)
2 tbsp
Vegetable Oil (for frying)

Method

  1. Cut the chicken into chunks and place them in a food processor.
  2. 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.
  3. Next, hold the broccoli with the stem facing up and using a sharp knife, carefully separate the
    florets, making downward cuts from the stem.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Place the ground chicken, broccoli, bread crumbs, eggs, dill, and seasonings in a bowl.
  7. 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.
  8. Heat oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  9. Cook the patties on each side until nicely golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.
  10. Serve the fritters with your favorite dip.
