1. Chicken mince (ground chicken) sold at supermarkets can be very wet. Always look for packetsthat doesn't have water in them (also indicates that it's not very fresh).

2. Broccoli - You will need about 1 medium head of broccoli, florets only. Cook using your preferred method until soft - I boil or steam. Then chop finely - see recipe video. You can use the thick stem if you want - peel the outside before cooking, once cooked, chop it very finely.

3. Mozzarella cheese doesn't have much salt in it. It stretches beautifully and that's what I used in the photos and video. You can use any cheese you want. BUT if you use a flavoured cheese like cheddar, colby, tasty etc, reduce the salt slightly.

4.MORE VEGGIES: This recipe can take about 1.5 cups of extra veggies. Suggestions: grated carrot or onion, grated zucchini with excess water squeezed out, corn, peas, finely sliced veggies like cabbage and spinach, finely chopped cooked green beans or asparagus.

5. Nutrition per serving assuming 4 servings, excludes sauce. Recipe makes about15 fritters.
