Ingredients
  

For the Patties
  • 2 cups Shredded Chicken Can substitute with finely chopped cooked chicken breast or ground chicken

  • 1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese Shredded cheddar or mozzarella can be used as a substitute
  • 1 large Eggs Acts as a binder

  • 1/4 cup Green Onions Can use shallots if preferred
  • 1/4 cup Fresh Parsley Cilantro or basil can be swapped based on your taste

  • 1/4 cup Vegetable or Olive Oil Used for frying

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt), Parmesan cheese, eggs, panko breadcrumbs, and all-purpose flour. Add in finely chopped green onions, fresh parsley, minced garlic, smoked paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Stir everything together until well-blended.
  2. Using moistened hands, take a portion of the mixture and form it into patties about ½ inch thick.
  3. In a large frying pan, pour enough vegetable or olive oil to cover the bottom, about ¼ inch deep. Heat the oil over medium heat until it shimmers, usually around 3-4 minutes.
  4. Carefully add the shaped patties to the hot oil. Fry each patty for 3-4 minutes on one side until golden brown. Gently flip and continue frying for another 3-4 minutes on the other side.
  5. Once cooked, use a slotted spatula to remove them from the pan and place on a plate lined with paper towels.
  6. Your crispy chicken patties are now ready to be served! Enjoy them in toasted buns, over a salad, or alongside roasted vegetables.

Notes

To improve binding, consider adding an extra egg or more breadcrumbs if the mixture seems too loose. Chilling the mixture for 15-20 minutes helps hold the patties together better during cooking.
