Provided by @MakeItYours

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 12.5-oz cans white premium chunk chicken breast
1 egg
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon salt (see notes)
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/8 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 cup plain dried bread crumbs, plus more
Vegetable oil for frying

Steps:

Drain chicken very well. I place mine in a colander to drain for several minutes then press down on the chicken with a heavy bowl.
Roughly chop chicken. I like the chicken to be uniform in size for consistent texture in the fritters (aim for about 1/4 inch pieces). Chopping the chicken also prevents any stray bits from poking out of the crispy coating.
Add chicken, egg, Dijon mustard, salt and spices to a mixing bowl then stir with a fork until well combined.
Stir in 1/4 cup bread crumbs.
Pour additional bread crumbs into a shallow bowl or pie plate (about a cup or so). Portion chicken mixture into six fritters. Shape each fritter into a tight little hockey puck then coat with additional bread crumbs.
Heat about 1/4 inch of oil in a large skillet over medium to medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, pan-fry chicken fritters on each side until golden brown and crispy. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Enjoy!
