In a food processor, combine the chicken pieces with salt, paprika, pepper, and garlic powder. Pulse until the chicken is coarsely chopped into 1/4- to 1/2-inch pieces. Be careful not to over-process. (5 minutes)

Transfer the chicken mixture to a mixing bowl. Add the mozzarella cheese, mayonnaise, egg, and green onions. Mix well to combine. Sprinkle the protein powder over the mixture and stir until evenly incorporated. Allow the mixture to rest for 20 to 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld; note that the mixture will be somewhat wet. (30 minutes)

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Using a 1/4-cup measuring cup, scoop four slightly heaping portions of the chicken mixture into the hot skillet. Gently press down on each fritter to flatten slightly, forming small patties. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until the fritters are golden brown and cooked through. Ensure an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center registers at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). (10 minutes)

Remove the cooked fritters from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Keep warm. Repeat the cooking process with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and chicken mixture. Serve immediately and enjoy! (10 minutes)
For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of your favorite hot sauce to the chicken mixture.
If you don't have protein powder, you can substitute almond flour or coconut flour, though the texture may vary slightly.
These fritters are also delicious cold, making them a great option for meal prepping or packing lunches.
Experiment with different types of cheese, such as cheddar, Monterey Jack, or pepper jack, to customize the flavor profile.

May 3, 2025I was skeptical about using protein powder, but it worked perfectly! The fritters were moist and flavorful. I'll definitely be making these again.
