Ingredients
- 2 cans approximately 708 grams / 1.56 pounds of premium chunk chicken breast, drained thoroughly

Instructions
- First, you'll need to drain the canned chicken thoroughly. Press down on it using a heavy bowl to extract excess liquid.
- Next, chop the chicken into uniform pieces, about 1/4 inch each. This ensures a consistent texture in your fritters.
- In a bowl, mix the chicken, egg, Dijon mustard, salt, and spices until well incorporated.
- Stir in 1/4 cup of bread crumbs.
- Prepare another shallow bowl with additional bread crumbs.
- Shape the chicken mixture into six fritters, each resembling a tight hockey puck.
- Coat each fritter with the extra bread crumbs.
- Heat 1/4 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium to medium-high heat.
- When the oil is hot, pan-fry the chicken fritters on both sides until they're golden brown and crispy.
