- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup green onions, chopped

Instructions
Preparation
- Start by preparing your workspace and gathering all the ingredients to ensure a smooth cooking process.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the finely chopped chicken breast, green onions, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix until evenly blended.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the egg. Add it to the chicken mixture and stir well to combine.
- Gradually add the flour to the chicken mixture while mixing, ensuring all ingredients are thoroughly combined to create a cohesive batter.
- Once the batter forms, fold in the breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese until evenly distributed.
Cooking
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and add oil, enough to cover the bottom generously.
- Scoop spoonfuls of the chicken mixture and drop them into the hot oil, ensuring you don’t overcrowd the pan. Cook in batches if necessary.
- Fry each fritter for about 3-4 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through. Adjust the heat to prevent burning.
- Once cooked, remove the fritters from the skillet and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serving
- Serve your crispy chicken fritters hot, with your favorite dipping sauce if desired.
