Chicken and Spinach Fritters

I seriously am so fascinated by recipe videos on my Facebook newsfeed, I have to watch them the whole way through. Maybe one day I will be clever enough to make my own!!

Anyway, a few weeks ago I found a cracking recipe and thought I would give it a go.

I adapted it to suit our dietary needs, added vegetables and whatever I had in the fridge.

They are really so yummy – 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 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.

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

I thought they were something a bit different for a kid-friendly meal and they are also nice cold, so make a few mini ones for the lunch box.

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