Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds ground chicken
3 tablespoons Italian seasoning, divided
Salt, to taste
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
16 ounces mozzarella, cut into strips
Oil, for frying
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
2 eggs

Steps

Working with about 4 tablespoons of the mixture at a time, use your hands to form a rectangular patty.
