Tender and flavorful chicken patties made with ground chicken and cottage cheese, perfect for busy weeknights or comforting meals.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground chicken
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup chopped onion
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Olive oil (for cooking)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, cottage cheese, breadcrumbs, chopped onion, minced garlic, egg, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Mix until everything is well combined, creating a creamy and slightly sticky mixture.
- Form the mixture into patties, about 1/2 inch thick.
- For Baking: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the patties on a greased baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping them halfway through until they achieve a beautiful golden brown.
- For Pan-Frying: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until they are thoroughly cooked and golden.
- For Air-Frying: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Cook the patties for about 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are crispy and cooked through.
- Serve warm and enjoy the comforting flavors!
Notes
Make-ahead and refrigerate the patties, then cook them fresh for a cozy meal. Use ground turkey for a leaner option and gluten-free breadcrumbs if desired.
