Crispy Chicken Patties

Ingredients

• 2 cups cooked chicken breasts (10 ounces total, from two 8-ounce raw breasts), cubed
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt or ½ teaspoon of any other salt
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon dried thyme
• ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
• ¼ cup olive oil

Instructions

1. Place the cooked chicken cubes, eggs, kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and cayenne in your food processor’s bowl. Process into a uniform mixture.
2. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
3. Drop the mixture into the hot oil, measuring ¼ cup per patty and fitting 4 patties into the skillet. Gently flatten them to ½-inch thick with the back of a spoon.
4. Cook the patties until crispy and golden brown, 3-4 minutes per side. Transfer them to a plate and cover them with foil to keep them warm.
5. Add the remaining olive oil to the skillet and cook the remaining patties. Serve immediately.
