Ingredients

1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast
2 large eggs
¼ cup buttermilk
⅓ cup all purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon garlic powder
1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
½ cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
2 tablespoons green onions, finely sliced
vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

Cut the 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast into small chunks, about ⅛ inch pieces.
In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs and ¼ cup buttermilk. In a larger bowl, whisk together ⅓ cup all purpose flour, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon pepper, 1 teaspoon paprika, and ½ teaspoon garlic powder.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix together until it is well incorporated. Add in the chicken, 1 cup mozzarella cheese, ½ cup sharp cheddar cheese, and 2 tablespoons green onions,. Mix well to evenly distribute the ingredients.
Heat 1-inch of vegetable oil for frying in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, drop the batter in about ¼ cup scoops and fry on each side for about 4-5 minutes. The fritters should be golden brown and the chicken fully cooked.
Remove from the oil and place on a paper towel lined plate to cool a while before enjoying.

Notes

Store leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
These fritters are best served with a dipping sauce, I suggest Garlic Aioli or Fry Sauce.
If you don’t have buttermilk, you can make some by mixing ¼ cup whole milk with 1 tablespoon lemon juice or white vinegar, just mix the two together and let it sit for about 5 minutes before using.
