BROCCOLI CHICKEN FRITTERS

Here’s a broccoli recipe that’s a little different to the usual – Broccoli Chicken Fritters! The combination of juicy chicken pieces and tender broccoli inside crispy golden fritters is seriously delicious.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again (and will probably keep saying it until the end of time) – you can fritter anything! And today, we’re frittering broccoli and chicken.

Have you ever made fritters with chopped chicken before? I think most people think of using ground/mince meat for things in patty and fritter form, like these Chicken Patties.

Using chopped chicken works a treat – I love how it makes the fritters nice and meaty. Thicker than usual fritters, like my favourite zucchini fritters.
