Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 0.5 cup breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup mayonnaise
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 large egg
- 2 stalks green onions, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, and egg. Mix well until evenly combined.
Add the chopped green onions, parsley, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Stir to incorporate all the seasonings evenly.
Using your hands or a scoop, form the mixture into 8 evenly sized patties, about 1/2 inch thick. Place the patties on a plate or baking sheet for easy access.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add the chicken cakes to the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
Cook the chicken cakes for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Remove the chicken cakes from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve warm with your choice of dipping sauce, salad, or alongside a side dish like roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
