Ingredients in Chicken and Cheese Patties with Fresh Mint
Here’s what you need to make Chicken and Cheese Patties with Fresh Mint:
Cheese: Use small cheese cubes that melt easily inside the patties. Gouda, mozzarella, or cheddar work great and add creaminess to every bite.
Ground Chicken: Choose ground chicken breast or a mix of breast and thigh for extra juiciness. Any lean chicken mince works.
Onion: Finely chopped onion adds sweetness and moisture. You can lightly sauté it first (as in your photos) for a milder flavor.
Fresh Mint: Use freshly chopped mint leaves for a bright, refreshing taste. Mint balances the richness of the cheese and chicken beautifully.
Flour: A small amount of flour helps the patties hold their shape and creates a firmer texture. You can replace it with breadcrumbs if preferred.
Egg: The egg binds everything together, making the patties easy to shape.
Red Pepper (Paprika): Adds color and mild flavor. You can use smoked paprika for a deeper taste.
Salt: Adjust to taste. If your cheese is salty, reduce the amount slightly.
Ketchup or Tomato Paste: Adds subtle sweetness and helps with browning. Tomato paste gives a stronger flavor; ketchup is milder.
How to make Chicken and Cheese Patties with Fresh Mint
Making these chicken and cheese patties with fresh mint is simple and doesn’t take much time. With just a few basic ingredients and easy steps, you’ll have a batch of golden, juicy patties ready to serve. Here’s exactly how to prepare them, step by step, so they turn out perfect every time.
Step 1: Sauté the onion
Heat a little oil in a non-stick pan. Add the chopped onion and cook for 3–4 minutes, until soft and lightly golden. This step adds sweetness and extra flavor to your patties. Set the onions aside to cool.
Step 2: Combine all ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, add the ground chicken, sautéed onions, cheese cubes, chopped fresh mint, egg, flour, tomato paste (or ketchup), salt, and red pepper. Mix everything together until you get a smooth, sticky mixture.
Step 3: Shape the patties
With slightly wet hands, form small round patties. Place them on a clean plate or tray. They should be flat enough to cook evenly, but thick enough to stay juicy.
Step 4: Pan-fry until golden
Heat a thin layer of oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the patties in a single layer and cook for 3–4 minutes per side, or until golden and fully cooked inside. Repeat until all patties are done.
Ready to Serve
Enjoy your chicken and cheese patties fresh from the pan with your favorite dip, a salad, or inside a wrap. The melted cheese and fresh mint make every bite irresistibly delicious!
These chicken and cheese patties with fresh mint come together quickly and always deliver big flavor with minimal effort.
