These look like crispy pan-fried chicken patties / chicken fritters—golden on the outside, juicy inside, and likely mixed with herbs and cheese.
Let’s break it down properly 👇
🍗 What you’re seeing
These are usually made from:
- Ground or shredded chicken
- Cheese (often mozzarella or cheddar)
- Herbs (parsley, green onion, etc.)
- Garlic + seasoning
- Sometimes egg + breadcrumbs for binding
They’re shaped into small patties and pan-fried until golden brown.
🧄 Crispy Chicken Cheese Patties (Detailed Recipe)
🧂 Ingredients
- 500 g ground chicken (or finely chopped cooked chicken)
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (or crushed crackers)
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 2 tbsp chopped parsley or coriander
- 1–2 green onions (optional)
- Salt & black pepper
- 1/2 tsp paprika or chili flakes (optional)
- Oil for frying
🔥 Instructions
1. Mix the base
In a large bowl combine:
- chicken
- egg
- breadcrumbs
- cheese
- garlic
- herbs
- seasoning
Mix until it becomes a sticky, moldable mixture.
2. Shape patties
Form small round or oval patties (like in the image).
Press slightly so they hold together but stay thick and juicy.
3. Pan-fry
Heat oil in a pan over medium heat.
Cook patties:
- 3–5 minutes per side
- until deep golden brown
- and fully cooked inside
4. Drain & rest
Place on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Let them rest 2–3 minutes so they firm up.
😋 What makes them so good
- Crispy golden crust
- Juicy chicken interior
- Melted cheese pockets inside

💡 Pro tips
- Don’t make patties too thin or they dry out
- Chill mixture 15–20 minutes before frying for better shape
- Medium heat is key—too hot burns outside, raw inside
