Chicken rissoles
Aussies love a goodbeef rissole.
And while we Aussies like to believe theyre exclusively ours (right!?)
Today though Im doing a spin on the classic using chicken.
But you know youre going to love them.
Look at these golden beauties!
For beef and lamb, its better to use the classicBeef Rissoles recipewhich has seasonings suited to red meats.
TIP:Chicken mince purchased in packets from supermarkets can be quite wet and soft.
Pour off and discard any liquid pooled in the packet before using.
But really attempt to avoid/minimise this as the drier the mixture gets, the less juicy your rissoles!
Panko breadcrumbs Breadcrumbs are necessary to absorb some of the moisture so you’re free to form patties.
Find it in the Asian aisle of most large supermarkets.
Substitutewith 2/3 cup regular breadcrumbs if you cant find panko.
A reader also reported these worked great with gluten-free breadcrumbs!
Cheese(shredded) Adds flavour and juiciness to the inside of the rissoles.
Chicken mince is very lean, so cheese really makes a difference to the tasty-factor.
Pick a well-flavoured cheese thats suitable for both shredding and melting.
Colby, cheddar/tasty, Monterey Jack, gouda, and provolone are all good choices.
Carrot and zucchini To bulk out the patties as well as adding some goodness to our diet.
Any more and it will noticeably dry out the filling.
Parsley Optional, for lovely little flecks of colour.
Just what I needed after FridaysVegetable Dumplings, which totalled a whopping 30 process shots!!!
Scoop up just shy of 1/4 cup of mixture.
TIP: An ice cream scoop with a lever is super handy for making patties andmeatballs!
Shape it into a patty.
Pile them up on a platter with ketchup on the side for dipping.
Rissoles are normally a meal eaten with knife and fork, but theyre also delicious as finger food.
Either way, get your people stuck in while theyre hot!!
Before you ask, I did try baking them too.
If baking convenience is what youre after, try theseBaked Chicken Broccoli Patties.
Oh and dont worry.
Those have cheese in them too.

Dont feel too sorry for him, it was no doubt self-inflicted, eating something he shouldnt have.)
