Tasty chicken patties are a great way to use up leftover chicken (or turkey). They are wonderfully crispy and very healthy – low carb, gluten free and paleo.
Crispy and golden, these delicious chicken patties are a huge hit with kids. And I have yet to meet a grownup who doesn’t like them!
These chicken patties are perfect for using up leftover chicken breast, and you can also make them after Thanksgiving to use up leftover turkey breast.
Serve these chicken patties as an entree with any side you like, or in a sandwich on 90 second bread. My kids love dipping them in spicy mayonnaise, made with avocado oil mayonnaise and a few drop of hot sauce.
MY LATEST VIDEOSLeftovers keep well for 3-4 days in the fridge. I like to eat them cold, with Dijon mustard and fresh cut veggies.
