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

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. Heat olive oil in a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. Serve the fritters warm with a dollop of sour cream on top.
8. Enjoy these delicious chicken, chive, and feta zucchini fritters as an appetizer or side dish!
