Instructions
1. Prepare the Chicken Mixture
In a large mixing bowl, combine the finely chopped chicken, shredded mozzarella, Parmesan cheese, eggs, mayonnaise, flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and parsley. Mix until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
2. Heat Oil and Shape Fritters
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture and shape into a small fritter. Place in the hot skillet. Repeat with the remaining mixture, working in batches if needed.
