Ingredients

Scale

Chicken Mixture

  • 2 cups shredded chicken (or canned chicken)
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese (or Cheddar cheese or Mozzarella cheese)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 cup parsley (finely chopped)

For Frying

  • 2 tablespoons oil (to fry)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded or canned chicken, mayonnaise, shredded cheese, eggs, breadcrumbs, flour, salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, cumin, and parsley. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly combined into a cohesive mixture.
  2. Shape Patties: Take a portion of the chicken mixture and shape it into a patty using your hands, making sure it is compact enough to hold together during cooking.
  3. Heat Oil: Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Make sure the oil is hot enough to sizzle when you add the patties but not smoking.
  4. Fry Patties: Carefully place the shaped chicken patties in the hot oil and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and have developed a crispy crust.
  5. Drain Excess Oil: Once cooked through, remove the patties from the pan and place them on a wire rack to drain any excess oil, keeping them crisp.

Notes

  • You can substitute parmesan cheese with cheddar or mozzarella as per preference.
  • Ensure the patties are compact to avoid breaking during frying.
  • For a healthier option, you can bake the patties at 400°F (200°C) for 15-18 minutes, flipping halfway.
  • Serve with your favorite dipping sauce or in a sandwich bun.
  • Leftover patties can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in a skillet.
