Ingredients:

  • 1 shallot
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoons of cornstarch (or tapioca starch)
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • Cooking oil


Tips for Making Chicken Breast Patties:

1. Choose Fresh Chicken Breast:

For the best results, choose fresh chicken breast that is pale pink in color and free from any unpleasant odors or slime.
After purchasing, rinse the chicken thoroughly and pat it dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This will help the patties maintain the right texture.


2. Grind and Season the Chicken:

Cut the chicken breast into small pieces and grind them in a food processor along with finely chopped shallots and garlic. Ensure that the chicken is finely minced to improve the binding of the patties.
Once ground, place the mixture in a bowl and add the egg, cornstarch, fish sauce, salt, pepper, and sugar. Mix thoroughly and let the mixture sit for 20-30 minutes to absorb the flavors.


3. Shape and Fry the Patties:

After the mixture has marinated, you can start shaping the patties into small rounds or long pieces, depending on your preference.
Heat a pan with a little oil, and fry the patties on medium heat until they are golden brown on both sides. Avoid frying at high heat, as this can cause the patties to become dry on the outside while remaining undercooked inside.


4. Bake or Steam for a Healthier Option:

If you're looking to reduce oil in your cooking, you can bake or steam the patties instead of frying them. Bake the patties at 180°C (350°F) for about 20 minutes for a healthier but still delicious version.


5. Pairing Suggestions:

Chicken breast patties pair well with rice, noodles, sandwiches, or even salads. They make for a nutritious, protein-packed meal that can be enjoyed in many different ways.
With these simple tips, you’ll be able to create delicious and healthy chicken breast patties at home. Enjoy your cooking!
