Cottage Cheese Chicken Patties
Six ground-chicken patties bound with cottage cheese, egg, and panko, pan-cooked until the center reaches 165°F.
Ingredients
Main ingredients
- 1 lb ground chicken raw; keep chilled before preparation
- ½ cup cottage cheese spoon off pooled whey before measuring
- 1 large egg
- ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- ¼ tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp chopped parsley optional
- 1 tbsp olive oil divided equally between two skillet batches
Instructions
- Blend cottage cheese, egg, garlic, panko, seasonings, and optional parsley. Fold raw chicken through gently, then shape 6 equally thick half-inch patties.
- Heat 1/2 tablespoon oil in a nonstick skillet at medium. Cook 3 patties 4–5 minutes per side, continuing until each center registers 165°F.
- Use the remaining 1/2 tablespoon oil for the other 3 patties. Keep cooked pieces safely hot while finishing.
- Rest 5 minutes and serve 6 patties with separately prepared accompaniments.
Notes
Six patties, about half-inch thickness. One tablespoon oil is divided across two batches; twenty-minute cook allowance includes both. Every center must reach 165°F, regardless of browning. Five-minute rest is included; no unverified nutrition figures.
