INSTRUCTIONS

Dice chicken into 1/3″ thick pieces and place in a large mixing bowl.

Add eggs, mayonnaise, flour, shredded mozzarella, dill, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Stir until well combined, cover, and refrigerate for 2 hours or overnight.

Heat oil in a large non-stick pan over medium heat. Spoon chicken mixture into the pan, flattening slightly with the back of a spoon. Sauté for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.

Repeat with remaining mixture, adding more oil as needed.

For the aioli, combine all ingredients in a small bowl and stir until smooth.

Serve chicken fritters hot with garlic aioli dip if desired.
