These golden, pan-fried chicken bites are everything you want in a home-cooked snack — crispy on the outside, juicy inside, and packed with melted mozzarella. The hint of fresh dill makes them stand out, offering a bright herbal twist that balances the richness of the cheese.
Perfect for dinner, meal prep, or even as party appetizers, these fritters come together fast and cook beautifully in a skillet. They’re hearty enough to serve on their own or pair perfectly with a dipping sauce like Garlic Aioli for a restaurant-quality finish.
