Irresistible Flag Day Creamy Chicken Patties Recipe

There’s something magical about biting into a Flag Day Creamy Chicken Patty. It’s like a warm embrace from your favorite aunt, the one who always knows how to spoil you with love and delicious food. The chicken is tender, the creaminess of the sauce dances on your tongue, and let’s not forget that crunch when you take a bite. These patties are perfect for any occasion—whether it’s a casual weekday dinner or a festive gathering with friends.

Speaking of gatherings, I remember the first time I made these beauties for my family. My grandmother’s eyes lit up in delight, and my cousin declared them “life-changing.” Talk about pressure for a home cook! Now, every Flag Day (yes, that’s a thing), they expect me to whip these up as if I’m some culinary magician. But hey, who doesn’t enjoy a bit of culinary fame?

My mom still raves about the time I made these for our family reunion last summer; she said everyone couldn’t stop talking about them.

Essential Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:

• Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts: About 3-4 breasts work well; adjust based on how many you’re feeding.

• Fresh Garlic: Use firm cloves for maximum flavor; fresh garlic elevates every dish.

• Heavy Cream: This adds that luxurious creaminess; don’t skimp on quality here!

• Breadcrumbs: Opt for panko for extra crunch; it makes all the difference in texture.

• Parmesan Cheese: Grated Parmesan adds depth; always go for fresh over pre-grated when possible.

• Fresh Herbs (like parsley): Fresh herbs brighten the patties; chop finely before mixing in.

• Salt and Pepper: Essential seasonings that boost all flavors; season generously but taste as you go.

The full ingredients list, including measurements, is provided in the recipe card directly below.

Let’s Make it together

First things first:

Prepare the Chicken Mixture: Start by finely chopping the chicken breasts into small pieces or grinding them in a food processor until smooth. The texture should be just right—not too chunky but not pureed.

Add Flavor Bombs!: Mince garlic and mix it into the chicken along with salt and pepper. You’ll want to smell that garlic goodness wafting through your kitchen!

Mix in Creamy Goodness: Pour heavy cream into your chicken mixture and add grated Parmesan cheese. Stir until everything is combined—it’s going to look wonderfully creamy!

Create Your Patties: Using your hands (or an ice cream scoop if you’re feeling fancy), form the mixture into patties about ¾ inch thick. Place them on a plate lined with parchment paper while you heat up your cooking surface.

Cook ‘Em Up!: Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat until it shimmers slightly but isn’t smoking (about 350°F). Add patties gently and fry until they’re golden brown on both sides—about 4-5 minutes per side.

Serve & Enjoy!: Once cooked through (internal temp should reach 165°F), serve hot alongside your favorite dipping sauce or salad. Enjoy those smiles as everyone digs in!

And there you have it! Your own batch of Flag Day Creamy Chicken Patties that will leave everyone begging for seconds—or at least a copy of this recipe!

Perfecting the Cooking Process

Start by mixing the ingredients for the patties while preheating the pan over medium heat. This ensures a quick cook and crispy exterior while keeping the inside juicy.

Add Your Touch

Feel free to swap out chicken for turkey or add your favorite herbs like dill or rosemary. This customization lets you create a dish that’s uniquely yours.

Storing & Reheating

Store leftover patties in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. To reheat, simply warm them in a skillet over low heat until heated through.
