Ingredients

  • 450 g chicken breast strips ( 1 lb)
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 spring onions
  • 1 tablespoon sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon plain flour
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Instructions

  • Cut the chicken strips into small cubes and add them to a bowl.
  • Chop the spring onions finely and add them to the same bowl, together with the eggs, sour cream and flour.
  • Season to taste, then mix well to form a soft, batter-like consistency.
  • Heat up a frying up, add a few drops of oil at a time, and use a spoon to drop batter into the frying pan, like small nests or pancakes.
  • Fry on both sites for about 2-3 minutes until cooked through, then remove from the pan and place on a plate that had been lined with kitchen towel.
  • Serve immediately!

Notes

  • To make the chicken fritters even more flavourful, you can used freshly-chopped dill or parsley, this time I only used spring onions, and they were lovely like that too.
  • I have not used cheese for these chicken fritters, but grated hard cheese can be a good addition.
  • To ensure a quick and even cooking, the chicken breast has to be cut up in really small cubes. In this way they will be nice and tender, and ready in just under 2-3 minutes each.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan, I never make more than 4 fritters at the same time, it's a lot easier to flip them on the other side in this way, plus they cook better. I find that the same applies for patties too, and anything else that needs to be cooked in a frying pan.
