This homemade chicken patty recipe is easy to make. It is a great way to use up chicken, especially if it is a little tough. Homemade chicken patties are also a good choice for those with dietary limitations.
This week large packs of chicken breasts were on sale at my usual grocer. I carefully selected from the packages, finding the least “grainy” looking package, to avoid tough meat. My efforts were in vain though. I sliced, marinated & grilled a few breasts… they were tough. Normally, when faced with less than stellar quality chicken breasts I will slow simmer them and make enchiladas, but I decided to make some homemade chicken patties with them instead this time. I basically just simplified my croquette recipe, and they came out well. I won’t eat store bought patties of any kind, but by making them yourself, you know just what’s in them.

Made these for my fam. Got great reviews!! Hoping not to purchase frozen ones again! Simple, easy to do, not super fond of frying, but will “play with recipe” to adjust to try and bake them. thanks for posting the recipe!!
I do my eggplant cutlets by just spraying them generously on each side with cooking spray. It should work fine with this as well. I keep meaning to pick up one of those oil misters for things like this, but haven’t gotten around to it yet. That would be ideal.
Great recipe!! thanks for sharing!
