how to make Easy Homemade Chicken Patties
Ingredients:
- 1 lb. ground chicken (or 2 chicken breasts if making your own ground chicken)
- 1 1/4 cup Cheese (use any kind you like)
- 2 Cups Italian Seasoned Panko Crumbs
- 1 Egg (large)
- 1/4 tsp Garlic Salt
- Onion Powder
- Cayenne Pepper (optional)
Directions:
- In a medium or large bowl, add ground chicken, egg, and cheese. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly blended.
- Form the chicken mixture into patties. You can make them any size you prefer, but around the size of store-bought patties is a great choice.
- Coat each patty in Panko breadcrumbs, making sure to cover both sides. The breadcrumbs will stick well due to the moist chicken mixture. If using, sprinkle a little garlic salt on the patties now.
- Baking Chicken Patties: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the patties on it. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, flipping them halfway through for even cooking. They’re ready when golden brown and cooked through.
- Air Frying Chicken Patties: If you have an air fryer, set it to 375°F (190°C). Spray the basket with non-stick spray and place the patties inside, keeping them from overlapping. Cook for about 18 minutes, flipping for even cooking halfway.
- Stove Top Frying: Heat a small amount of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry each patty for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and fully cooked.
