How to Make This Homemade Chicken Patties Recipe:

  1. Shred and mince cooked chicken or process in a food processor until minced.
  2. Put all ingredients, except coconut oil in a large bowl. Mix well.
  3. Heat coconut oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  4. Using about 1/4 cup of the mixture shaped into patties.
  5. Fry patties until browned on the bottom, turn over to brown the other side.
  6. Continue frying the rest of the patties, adding a little more coconut oil to skillet as needed.

How to Freeze Homemade Chicken Patties:

Allow chicken patties to cool and then place them on a baking pan that will fit in your freezer. Place them in the freezer for several hours to freeze and then put them in a freezer bag. Can be stored in the freezer for 2-3 months.

To reheat simply take the frozen chicken patties and refry, heat in the oven, or place in an air-fryer for a few minutes. Check the center to make sure they are heated through.

A food processor makes mincing the cooked chicken a breeze, but if you don’t have one you can shred and then mince your chicken using a cutting board and a chef’s knife.

You can change up the flavor of the patties by adding in some cajun spice, a little more chili powder, or your family’s favorite seasonings.

    The measurement for the golden flaxmeal just says “1/2.” 1/2 of what?

    Thanks!

    Can I substitute Baking Blend for the Flaxmeal, and what can I substitute for the nutritional yeat?

      Hi Rosalie, I haven’t tried it with the baking blend. You could try it, but it wouldn’t be grain free using the baking blend. Also, flaxmeal has a good binding quality that I am not sure if the baking blend would have. I would suggest experimenting with it and see how you like it.

      The nutritional yeast could be left out. It is there mainly for the flavor, so you could add some other spices to your own taste.

    I made these for the first time tonight, and I really liked them. I like how well the patties hold together. I think next time I might saute the onions first, and I’ll try adding some more herbs or spices for a little more flavor. Maybe some garlic! Thank you for sharing your recipes! Quick and tasty! I’m still just wading into THM but some of your recipes are my favorite go-tos right now.
