Chicken and Spinach Fritters

August 29, 2017 · 6 Comments

Chicken and Spinach Fritters

I love a good fritter! Crispy, crunchy, salty and savoury. Yum.

The good thing about fritters is that they are a great budget meal that is kid friendly too. Use up your leftover meat and veg and make them stretch further.

These Chicken and Spinach Fritters are a bit different to your regular flour/egg/milk fritter and the texture is amazing – crispy and crunchy on the outside and soft and cheesy in the middle.

If you like lots of flavour, add some herbs, spring onions or garlic but they are nice and plain for kids as they are.

Inspired and adapted from this recipe at Natasha’s Kitchen.

 

Chicken and Spinach Fritters

gluten free, nut free

500g organic chicken mince

1/2 cup gluten free plain flour

2 eggs, whisked

1/3 cup mayonnaise (homemade or choose a good quality one)

1 cup grated tasty cheese (watch out for additives)

1 cup shredded spinach

1/2 tablespoon Herbamare or good quality salt to taste

black pepper to taste

cooking fat/oil

 

This is what you do:

Whack everything in a bowl and mix it up well.

Heat a cast iron frypan over a medium to medium high heat with your choice of fat or oil.

Just make sure you use about two to three tablespoons so the fritters don’t stick.

Add about 1/4 cup scoops of chicken mixture to the pan.

Cook for around three minutes and then flip and cook another three minutes or until cooked all the way through.

Keep fritters warm until you have cooked them all.

Serve with homemade roasted tomato sauce and a big green salad.

This mix makes around 10-12 fritters.

 

Good quality mayonnaise without seed oils is hard to find unless you make it yourself. I use this one as it uses olive oil and some other amazing ingredients that are good for you!

My whole family thought these fritters were really tasty. You could add in some finely diced leftover vegetables or experiment with different cheeses too.

These fritters are really nice cold, so make a few mini ones for the lunch box the next day.

If you make them, take a photo and show me on Facebook!

    Just wondering if you have tried these without the cheese at all? ?

      HI Christine, I haven’t tried it with either of those as i wasn’t sure it would give it a great texture. Let me know if you try it.
