Ingredient Notes:
- Chicken. Both chicken breast and juicy leg fillets (dark meat) are perfect for these fritters and work equally well. Feeling adventurous or just out of chicken? You can easily swap the chicken for pork tenderloin or turkey breast fillet – they work beautifully too.
- Corn. Canned sweet corn is your reliable, year-round go-to. Got fresh corn when it’s in season? Absolutely! Just slice the kernels right off the cob – no extra prep needed. And yes, frozen corn kernels are totally fine as well.
- Green beans. Frozen green beans are your easiest route here – just chop and toss them in! If you’re using fresh beans, I highly recommend a quick blanching before adding them to the mix – it helps tenderize them and brighten their color.
- Eggs. You’ll need medium-sized eggs for this recipe, roughly 50-55g each. You can substitute whole eggs with egg whites. As a handy guide, remember that one egg white from a medium egg is about 30g.
- Onions. Any onion works well. Standard yellow onions are great, but feel free to swap in red or white onions if that’s what you have or prefer. Shallots are also a lovely option for a milder flavor.
- Paprika. Regular sweet ground paprika is perfect, but for a really interesting twist, try swapping it for smoked paprika. It adds a wonderful depth of flavor to the fritters!
Let’s start cooking.
Chop the chicken fillets in a food processor or put in a meat grinder. Place in a bowl. Chop the green beans and add to the ground chicken along with the corn. Add eggs, finely chopped onion and seasoning.
Mix well.
Heat 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Spoon the patty mixture into the pan and fry the fritters for about 5 minutes on each side.
Serve with sauce and garnish to taste.
Enjoy!
