Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 2 lbs ground chicken
  • 1/2 cup finely diced red bell pepper
  • 1/2 cup finely diced green onions
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 1/2 tsp seasoned salt (divided use)
  • 1 tsp lemon pepper (or black pepper)
  • 1 tsp Creole or Cajun seasoning
  • 1 tsp granulated garlic or garlic powder
  • 2 large eggs (lightly beaten)
  • 2 1/2 cups panko breadcrumbs (divided use)
  • 1 cup finely shredded Parmesan cheese (plus additional for garnishing)
  • 2-3 Tbsp chopped Italian parsley (divided use)
  • Olive oil for frying

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, add ground chicken, diced red bell pepper, diced green onions, mayonnaise, 1 tsp seasoned salt, lemon pepper, Creole seasoning, granulated garlic, and beaten eggs. Stir thoroughly until fully combined.
  2. Add Dry Ingredients: Mix in 1 cup of panko breadcrumbs, 1 cup of shredded Parmesan cheese, and 2 tablespoons of chopped parsley evenly into the chicken mixture.
  3. Form Patties: Pour the remaining 1 1/2 cups panko breadcrumbs onto a shallow plate. Using an ice cream scoop, portion the chicken mixture into patties. Coat each patty thoroughly on all sides with bread crumbs, adding more crumbs as necessary to ensure a full coating.
  4. Prepare for Frying: Arrange the coated patties in a single layer on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Start with patties about 3/4-inch thick, which will be pressed down to 1/2-inch thick during frying.
  5. Heat Oil: Drizzle olive oil into a large skillet and heat over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  6. Fry Patties: Fry the chicken patties in batches for 3-4 minutes per side, depending on thickness, until they turn golden brown and are cooked through. Add more olive oil between batches if necessary. Once cooked, transfer patties to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.
  7. Serve: Serve the chicken patties hot, garnished with additional chopped parsley and grated Parmesan cheese. Accompany with your preferred dipping sauce for enhanced flavor.

Notes

  • Ensure the chicken is evenly combined with all ingredients for consistent flavor in every bite.
  • Panko breadcrumbs create a light and crispy coating; using regular breadcrumbs will result in a denser texture.
  • Adjust the thickness of patties for desired cooking time and texture.
  • Use fresh Parmesan cheese for best flavor and melting quality.
  • Cook patties in batches to avoid overcrowding the skillet, which can cause steaming instead of frying.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated in a skillet or oven to retain crispiness.
