Ingredients:

  • 2 medium zucchinis (500 g)
  • 1/2 onion (1/2 ks cibule)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (1 lžíčka sůl)
  • 1 egg (1 ks vejce)
  • 2–3 tablespoons all-purpose flour (2–3 lžíce hladká mouka)
  • 1/2 bunch fresh dill (1/2 svazku kopr)
  • 8.8 oz ground chicken (250 g kuřecí prsa)
  • Salt, to taste (dle chuti sůl)
  • Ground black pepper, to taste (dle chuti mletý černý pepř)
  • Oil, for frying (dle potřeby olej)

Directions:

  1. Prepare the Zucchini
  2. Start by trimming the ends of the zucchini. Grate the zucchini using a coarse grater, then sprinkle it with salt and let it sit for 5–10 minutes.
  3. Note: Salting the zucchini helps to draw out excess moisture.
  4. Prepare the Chicken Mixture
  5. While the zucchini is resting, cut the ground chicken into small pieces and mix it with grated onion. Season the mixture with salt and pepper, and set it aside.
  6. Combine the Ingredients
  7. Squeeze out as much moisture as possible from the grated zucchini. In a bowl, mix the zucchini with grated onion, egg, flour, and chopped dill.
  8. Form the Fritters
  9. From the vegetable mixture, form small patties and place them in a skillet with heated oil. Top each patty with the chicken mixture and fry for about 4–5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
  10. Drain Excess Oil
  11. Once cooked, transfer the fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil. Serve them warm with your favorite sides.
  12. Serving Suggestions
  13. Zucchini fritters with chicken pair wonderfully with potatoes, rice, or grilled vegetables. They’re also delightful served cold as a snack or appetizer.
