Ingredients

list not instructions

Alright, let's explore into what you'll need to whip up these awesome baked chicken and broccoli fritters! First, grab 500g of chicken mince. If you're not a fan of chicken, turkey or pork works great too.

Next, you'll need one minced garlic clove—'cause everything's better with garlic, right?! Follow that with ¾ cup of panko breadcrumbs to get that nice texture. Don't forget the two packed cups of soft-cooked, finely chopped broccoli. We're making these healthy-ish! These fritters are perfect for even picky eaters who don't realize they're eating their veggies. Add ¾ cup of finely chopped shallots!

Now, for the cheesy goodness—get ready with 1 ½ to 2 cups of shredded mozzarella. A bit of flavor enhancer– ¾ tsp of salt and a dash of black pepper completes our list. For cooking, you'll need oil spray, and the yogurt ranch sauce is optional!

Preparation

readying for readiness details

Now that we've gathered all our ingredients—the real fun begins. We're gonna get everything prepped, so the cooking part is super smooth. First, let's tackle those sneaky bacon strips—or should I say, bacon masterpieces in the making?

I'm talking crispy, dreamy goodness! Let's get organized. These bacon strips add a delightful savory element to our sweet roll ups.

  • I want us to lay the bacon on a baking sheet.
  • Don't forget to preheat while you are rolling up your sleeves and feeling like a professional chef.
  • Grab the French toast, it's time to cover them in everything.

I've found that having everything ready to go—like a meticulously planned operation—makes the whole cooking process way less stressful and much more enjoyable. It's like setting the stage for a delicious performance!

Cooking Instructions

follow culinary process steps

I'm going to walk you through the simple steps to make these yummy fritters! First, I'll get the oven preheated to 200C/390F. Next, I'm going to line a baking tray with baking paper for easy cleanup. Alternatively, you can just spray it with oil — who doesn't love less washing up?

Next, grab your fritter mixture that we made in the preparation stage. Now, I'm going to measure out about ¼ cup of the mixture – I use a spoon, no fancy stuff required. Pat it into a little fritter shape, about 6 cm / 2.25" wide and 1cm / 2/5" thick.

Place those fritters on the tray, looking good! Next, give them a generous spray—and I mean generous—of oil on top. I bake them for 15 minutes, flip 'em, spray some more oil, then bake for another 8 to 10 minutes, until like golden-brown perfection! Easy, right?

Serving Suggestions

culinary recommendations potential uses

Once your fritters look golden and delicious, you're ready to think about serving them up! You can eat them straight away, I won't judge! But here are some ideas to make 'em extra special.

I think they're great as an appetizer or even a main course–especially if you're not feeling like something too heavy! Think of them like little chicken-broccoli bites of happiness. Consider these options:

  • Dipping sauce galore! I love the yogurt ranch, but honestly–go wild. Ketchup? Sure, why not? Sriracha mayo? You bet!
  • Make it a meal! Serve it with a side salad. Trust me, the freshness complements the cheesy goodness.
  • Burger time! I bet you didn't see that coming–did you? I'm serious! Pop them on a bun with your toppings.

Enjoy your fritters–any way you like 'em!
