🤤 What Makes This Recipe So Good
Some recipes that use ground chicken can be a little dry and have an off-putting texture, but not this one! These pan-fried chicken patties are incredibly juicy, seasoned perfectly, and have the perfect crisp exterior. Chicken patties are surprisingly versatile! I love them as burgers or in wraps, but they’re great on their own, too! You can also serve them with pasta, a small spinach salad, or with a helping of tender broccoli and potatoes. These chicken patties are a great option for stocking your freezer. Follow all the steps to mix and form the chicken patties, then lay them out on a baking sheet and freeze them for an hour or so. After that, you can place them in a sealable freezer bag and freeze them up to 3 months! I like to place a square of parchment paper between each patty to keep them from sticking together. That way, you can take out only the exact number of patties you need!
👩🏼‍🍳 Chef’s Tips
Chicken cooks quickly, so you won’t need as much time in the pan as you might think. Use an internal thermometer so you know the second they’re ready to come off the heat. Change it up! One of the great things about this recipe is that you can make it a little different every time. Mix in a little parmesan or cheddar for cheesy chicken patties, or finely chop some jalapeños, mushrooms, spinach, or zucchini for chicken patties with veggies. You can bake the chicken patties instead of pan frying them! Follow all the directions below and bake them on a baking sheet for roughly 20 minutes in an oven that’s been preheated to 400° Fahrenheit. Flip them halfway so they cook evenly! Be sure to check the final temp with a meat thermometer. For even better chicken patties, refrigerate the prepared patties for at least 30 minutes before cooking them. Cooking them from cold instead of room temperature or warm will help them hold together better AND they’ll be juicier and more flavorful, too. Be sure the skillet is hot and ready before you put the patties in the oil. If it’s not, they’ll just soak up the oil instead of getting good and crisp!
