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.

It looks like they turned out great, but I never thought you had to put the chicken breast into a food processor and almost liquify them to get chicken patties. I thought if ….oh never mind, they came out great and you’ve even given us the recipe so I’m gratful. Plus what better way to cook tough chicken we sometimes get then to make them into patties. I’m going to do this recipe for sure. Hi! Thanks for visiting my blog and following me. I’m following you too now and I’m so very happy I found this blog. This ones for me. Smiles.
