Chicken Zucchini Fritters,

Instructions:
Prepare the Zucchini:
Grate the zucchini using a box grater. Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. This step is crucial to prevent soggy fritters.

Mix the Fritter Ingredients:
In a large bowl, combine the grated zucchini, shredded chicken, mozzarella cheese, corn kernels, Parmesan cheese, flour, beaten egg, chopped chives, lemon zest, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.

Form the Fritters:
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the mixture and form into a patty. Place it in the skillet and repeat with the remaining mixture, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.

Cook the Fritters:
Fry the patties for about 3–4 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Transfer the cooked fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

Prepare the Sour Cream Sauce:
In a small bowl, mix together the sour cream, chopped chives, lemon juice, grated garlic, salt, and pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Serve:
Serve the warm fritters with the prepared sour cream sauce on the side.

Enjoy these crispy and flavorful Chicken Zucchini Fritters as a satisfying appetizer or a light meal. They’re perfect for meal prep and can be stored in the refrigerator for a few days or frozen for longer storage.
