Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 12.5 ounce canned chicken drained or cooked chicken breast
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/3 cup cottage cheese or see notes above
  • 1/3 cup cheddar cheese
  • 1/8 tsp salt and pepper you could skip if you feel cottage cheese is already salty enough for you
  • 1 cup pork rind panko or see notes above
  • optional seasonings garlic powder, onion powder or add some fresh herbs like chopped fresh parsley

Method
 

  1. Heat your oven to 400 degrees F and line a small baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Combine all ingredients except the pork rind panko in a food processor and pulse until well mixed.
  3. Using a heaping 1/4 cup scoop, shape the mixture and roll each portion in the pork rind panko to cover completely.
  4. Form five patties from the coated mixture and set them on the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Bake the patties for 15 minutes until cooked through, then switch your oven to broil and crisp the tops for 5 minutes.
  6. Alternatively, preheat an air fryer to 400 degrees F and cook the patties for about 10 minutes, or until they turn golden and crisp.
  7. Store any leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to two days.

Notes

  • If you prefer less salt, omit the added salt and pepper as the cottage cheese may already provide enough seasoning. You can customize the patties by adding garlic powder, onion powder, or fresh herbs like parsley. Leftovers keep well refrigerated for 2 days.
