*How to make :
Using a sharp knife, cut the chicken into 1/3 thick pieces and place in a large mixing bowl. Tip: If the chicken breasts are partially frozen, it will be easier to chop them up a bit.

Stir until well combined, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate 2 hours or overnight.
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of oil. When the oil is hot, add the chicken mixture, 1 tablespoon at a time. Flatten the top slightly with the back of a spatula and fry uncovered for 3-4 minutes on the first side, then flip and fry for 3 minutes on the second side or until the outside is golden brown and the chicken is cooked *repeat with the remaining donuts, add more oil as desired the need.
To prepare aioli (if using), combine all ingredients in a small bowl or measuring cup and blend until smooth.
