Chicken Patties

Chicken Patties

I'm always in search of ways to use left-over chicken.  This recipe for chicken patties is a great way to disguise left-over chicken.  These chicken patties can be served on a bun as a sandwich, topping a salad, or as the protein served with a potato and vegetable.  

Best of all, these chicken patties are kid friendly.  

Ingredients

• cups chopped cooked chicken
• 1 sleeve saltine crackers
• 3/4 cup milk
• 2 eggs
• 1 small onion, finely chopped onion
• 1 tablespoon poultry seasoning (can use less if you like)
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/8 tsp pepper

Directions

• In a large bowl, stir together chicken and cracker crumbs.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together all other ingredients.
• Pour wet mixture into bowl with chicken and stir until well combined.
• Cover with dish towel and allow to sit for five minutes.
• Form into 5-7 patties. You can freeze at this time if you wish and cook them later.

To cook:

• Place about 2 tablespoons oil in large skillet and heat over medium high heat for a few minutes.
• Reduce heat to medium and add patties.
• Cook until well browned on both sides, flipping once.
• To cook from frozen, follow same instructions but allow longer cooking time. Remove from heat once hot through.
• Serve on or next to salad  or on buns with mayo, lettuce, and fresh tomato.
