Open in Pepper →Ground Chicken Shaped Into Something Better
A pound of ground chicken or a cup of leftover shredded chicken doesn't look like dinner until you bind it, shape it, and put it in a hot skillet. Then it feeds everybody, and the kids eat it without a word.
Cooks on Pepper reach for these on nights when the chicken is already cooked or the ground chicken has to get used up, and nobody wants another plain baked breast.
Every recipe here starts with chicken and ends in a patty or a croquette: low calorie chicken nuggets with crushed chips, carnivore bacon and cheese chicken nuggets, Mediterranean chicken patties with feta, low carb chicken patties with Parmesan, chicken fritters, and two takes on chicken croquettes made with milk and broth.
Quick Tips
- 1
Chill the mix first
Let the shaped patties or croquettes sit in the fridge 20 to 30 minutes so they hold together and don't fall apart in the pan.
- 2
Keep the oil steady
Fry at about 350°F, or until a crumb sizzles right away, and cook in batches of 4 or 5 so the oil doesn't drop and turn them greasy.
- 3
Chop the chicken fine
For croquettes, chop cooked chicken into small pieces about the size of a pea so the thick milk-and-broth base holds every bite together.
- 4
Don't crowd the skillet
Leave an inch between patties and turn them only once, about 3 to 4 minutes a side, so the crust sets before it steams.
