Cooking the dish according to the recipe:
- Fill a large saucepan or cauldron halfway with oil. Attach a deep-fry thermometer to the side. Heat the oil over medium to 175°C.
- Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, Italian seasoning, egg, 1/4 cup panko, 1 teaspoon salt, and a few grinds of black pepper.
- Scoop 2 heaping tablespoons of ground chicken and form it into a flat circle with a diameter of 5 cm using your hands. Place a cube of mozzarella in the center of the circle. Form the ground chicken into a ball with the cheese inside. Place the ball on a plate or baking sheet and repeat with the remaining mozzarella and ground chicken.
