  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 8 patties 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken Mixture

  • 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
  • 1 tablespoon ranch seasoning
  • 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 2 large eggs

Coating

  • 1 cup bread crumbs
  • Olive oil or cooking spray for frying

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken with ranch seasoning, cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, and eggs. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are well combined and the mixture holds together when shaped.
  2. Form the Patties: Using your hands or a small scoop, shape the mixture into even patties approximately 3 inches in diameter. Press firmly to ensure they maintain their shape during cooking.
  3. Coat the Patties: Pour bread crumbs into a shallow dish. Dredge each patty in the bread crumbs, pressing lightly so the coating adheres well for a crispy exterior.
  4. Cook the Patties: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry the patties for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Flip carefully with a spatula to preserve the coating.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Transfer the cooked patties to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve warm and enjoy every cheesy, crunchy bite!

Notes

  • Use cold shredded chicken to help the patties hold their shape better.
  • Do not skip the eggs; they act as a vital binder.
  • Press breadcrumbs firmly onto patties for a uniform crispy crust.
  • Cook over medium heat to avoid burning and ensure even cooking.
  • Drain patties on paper towels after frying to reduce greasiness.
