Chicken Zucchini Fritters Recipe
Imagine if you will that a katleta (meat patty) married a zucchini fritter and they had babies = Chicken Zucchini Fritters. I'm not sure why I hadn't thought of this earlier. They are healthier than regular katlety since they are half meat and half veggie and they are super juicy and flavorful.

How to Make Chicken Zucchini Fritters:
zucchini (medium, about 1 1/4 lbs, grated (I used a green zucchini and a yellow squash))2
2
Place zucchini in a colander or bowl. Sprinkle grated zucchini with 1 tsp salt and let stand for ⏱️ 10 minutes, then squeeze out as much juice as you can from your zucchini, squeezing it out by the fistful to get out the most juice out. You'll be amazed how much juice actually comes out of these babies. Transfer drained zucchini to a large bowl. Discard drained juice.
