Sweet Potato Fritters With Lemon Chicken image

I find it hard to eat only one, so I usually quarter the recipe and make only one. Just in case I'm tempted to eat more.

Provided by Trinity_1966

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

600 g chicken breast fillets
2 tablespoons lemon juice
600 g sweet potatoes, peeled and grated
5 shallots, finely chopped
2 teaspoons fresh ginger, minced
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1/3 cup flour
1/3 cup Thai sweet chili sauce
4 tablespoons coriander leaves (optional)

Steps:

  • Coat a large non-stick fry pan with cooking spray and cook the chicken breast fillets for 5 minutes each side. Pour over the lemon juice during the last minute of cooking. Transfer to a plate, cover with foil and keep warm while you make the fritters.
  • Place the grated sweet potato, shallots and ginger in a large mixing bowl and combine. Stir through the egg and flour.
  • Recoat the pan with cooking spray and heat. Scoop a quarter of the mixture into the pan and form into a circle about 12cm in diameter. Cook over a low heat for 4 minutes on each side or until golden and cooked. Remove from the pan and keep warm while cooking the remaining fritters.
  • Divide the fritters between 4 serving plates. Cut the chicken into slices and place on top of the fritters. Spoon over the sweet chili sauce and scatter with coriander, if using.

Tips:

  • Use fresh lemons for the best flavor. If you only have bottled lemon juice, add a teaspoon of lemon zest to the batter for extra flavor.
  • Be sure to let the batter rest for at least 30 minutes before frying. This will help the flour to absorb the liquid and create a more tender fritter.
  • When frying the fritters, be sure to use a heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat. This will help to prevent the fritters from burning.
  • Fry the fritters in batches so that they don't overcrowd the pan. This will help them to cook evenly.
  • Drain the fritters on paper towels before serving. This will help to remove any excess oil.

Conclusion:

Lemon fritters are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They are perfect for a snack, dessert, or even breakfast. With their bright citrus flavor and tender texture, these fritters are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you are looking for a sweet and satisfying treat, give these lemon fritters a try. You won't be disappointed!
