Recipe preparation

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!
