Chicken and Corn Fritters Snack for Kids

My best friend told me that if there is one snack that could satisfy her 2 year old toddler, she would give me a kiss if I could share with her the recipe.

Well, I don’t want her kiss but I definitely wanted her 2 year old toddler to eat something different , rather than consuming baked macaroni with cheese, that would make her produce baby fats.

How about Chicken and Corn Fritters, I had suggested yesterday but she wasn’t sure that her toddler would put corn into her mouth.

I told her that Chicken and Corn Fritters are super easy to prepare and IF her toddler doesn’t like it, she and her hubby could finish them up because these fritters are super delicious snack that roadside stall doesn’t sell them at all.

She wasn’t convinced.

So, I had made some today and brought the first batch to her house for a “Test Trial”

It did freaked her out when her toddler kept eating one after another corn fritter non-stop because she knew that her baby dislikes anything with corn.

Now Chicken and Corn Fritters are made from left-over chicken which I had in the fridge. You could either steam fresh chicken fillets or keel, but make sure there isn’t any bones in the meat because you don’t want to choke your child, would you?

You may noticed that I had added in an extra ingredient; BANANA, which is helpful to make your child’s bowel movement to move the waste easily with the combination of banana and corn.

You could either use sweet corn kernels from the can or buy raw corn kernels in the frozen department of the supermarket.

Spring onion and coriander give the least taste of raw vegetables to children, so you don’t have to worry about the child picking out the bits of  veggies from the fritters.
