  6. This recipe is amazing! My husband just got home from the hospital and doesn’t have the stamina to eat much or cut up any food. I made this out of one large chicken breast, cut up into 1/2 inch chunks, and cut back on the ingredients to adjust to about 2 cups of chicken chunks (2 eggs, 1/4 cup herb panko, 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese and 3 T chopped Italian Parsley plus garlic granules. 1/2 lemon juiced, and various salt seasonings….no pepper). It made 4 large fritters (saved 2 for tomorrow). I made the cucumber yogurt sauce exactly as written….truly a winning recipe for us!
