Description
Chicken Rissoles are crispy, golden-brown patties made from ground chicken, breadcrumbs, and seasonings. These deliciously simple bites are perfect for a snack, light meal, or as a party appetizer. Serve with a tangy dipping sauce or salad for a complete dish!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (450g) ground chicken
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (preferably fresh)
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 egg
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- Olive oil or vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped onion, minced garlic, egg, parsley (if using), dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix everything together until well combined.
- Divide the mixture into small portions and shape them into round or oval patties (about 2 inches wide).
- Heat a generous amount of oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the rissoles and fry for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Make sure to cook in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
- Transfer the rissoles to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
- Serve hot with your choice of dipping sauce, a side salad, or on a bun for a delicious chicken burger.
Notes
- For a lighter version, bake the rissoles at 400°F (200°C) for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Feel free to add other herbs and spices to customize the flavor, such as paprika, thyme, or cumin.
- Leftover rissoles can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and can be reheated in the oven or skillet.
