Posted on January 6, 2025

Here’s a fantastic recipe for Cheesy Stuffed Chicken Patties—juicy, flavorful chicken patties filled with melted cheese and herbs, making them an irresistible dish that’s perfect for lunch, dinner, or even a party appetizer.

Ingredients:

For the Chicken Patties:

  • 1 lb (450g) ground chicken
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko for extra crunch)
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning (or oregano)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 egg (to bind the mixture)

For the Cheese Filling:

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (or a cheese of your choice like cheddar, provolone, or a mix)
  • 2 oz cream cheese (softened)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil (optional, for added flavor)

For Cooking:

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for frying)
  • 1 tablespoon butter (optional, for extra richness)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Chicken Patty Mixture:

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  • Add the egg and mix everything together until well combined. You may need to use your hands for better mixing.
  • Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions. Set aside.

2. Prepare the Cheese Filling:

  • In a small bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese, cream cheese, and chopped fresh basil (if using). Mix until the filling is smooth and well combined.

3. Form the Patties:

  • Take one portion of the chicken mixture and flatten it into a thin patty on a piece of parchment paper or a clean surface.
  • Place a spoonful of the cheese filling in the center of the patty.
  • Carefully fold the edges of the chicken around the filling, pressing gently to seal the cheese inside. Form the patty into a ball or flattened shape, ensuring the cheese is fully enclosed within the chicken.
  • Repeat with the remaining portions of chicken mixture.

4. Cook the Patties:

  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. If you want extra richness, you can also add the butter to the pan.
  • Once the oil is hot, add the stuffed chicken patties to the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/75°C).
  • Be careful not to overcrowd the pan, so you may need to cook the patties in batches.

5. Serve:

  • Once the patties are cooked, remove them from the skillet and let them rest for a few minutes.
  • Serve the cheesy stuffed chicken patties warm with a side of vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad. You can also drizzle a bit of marinara sauce or ranch dressing over the top for added flavor.

Tips:

  • Stuffing variations: Feel free to experiment with different cheeses (like cheddar, gouda, or a mix) or even add a bit of cooked spinach or mushrooms to the filling.
  • Make ahead: You can prepare the patties in advance, stuff them, and refrigerate them for up to a day before cooking. This helps the flavors meld together.
  • Dipping sauce: These patties are perfect for dipping. Try serving with marinara sauce, a creamy ranch dressing, or a spicy sriracha mayo for added flavor.

These Cheesy Stuffed Chicken Patties are incredibly juicy and flavorful, with a surprise melted cheese center that everyone will love. Perfect for a hearty dinner or a fun, cheesy appetizer! Enjoy!
