# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Place chicken breasts in the bowl of a food processor and pulse until finely diced. Alternatively, finely dice by hand.

Transfer diced chicken to a large bowl. Add eggs, mayonnaise, parsley, chives, basil, salt, garlic powder, black pepper, dill weed, flour, and shredded mozzarella. Mix thoroughly until fully combined.
03 -
Measure 1/4 cup portions of the mixture to form 15 equal piles for the patties.
04 -
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add half the patties without crowding. Flatten each patty with the back of a spoon. Cook for 3–4 minutes until golden on the bottom, then flip and cook an additional 3–4 minutes until cooked through. Remove to a plate.
05 -
Add remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Cook the remaining patties in the same manner, transferring to the plate once done.
06 -
Serve the fritters warm as desired, alone or with accompaniments such as aioli, on buns, or atop salads.
