Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchini
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped chives
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 tablespoons olive oil, for frying
- 1/4 cup sour cream, for serving
Directions
- Grate the zucchini using a box grater or food processor. Place the grated zucchini in a colander and sprinkle with salt. Let it sit for 10 minutes to remove excess moisture.
- Squeeze the grated zucchini with your hands to remove as much liquid as possible. Transfer the zucchini to a clean kitchen towel or paper towels and squeeze again.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchini, shredded chicken, feta cheese, chopped chives, minced garlic, all-purpose flour, beaten eggs, and black pepper. Stir until well combined.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat.
- Scoop about 1/4 cup of the zucchini mixture and flatten it into a patty. Place the patty in the hot skillet and repeat with the remaining mixture, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
- Cook the fritters for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove from the skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Serve the fritters warm with a dollop of sour cream on top.
- Enjoy these delicious chicken, chive, and feta zucchini fritters as an appetizer or side dish!
