Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 500 g chicken mince
Vegetables:
- 1 medium brown onion (grated)
- 1 medium carrot (grated)
- 1 small zucchini (grated)
Binding and Seasoning:
- 1 large egg
- 120 g 1 cup cheddar cheese, grated
- 45 g ¾ cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon chives or parsley (chopped)
- Salt (to taste)
- Pepper (to taste)
- Olive oil (for frying)
Instructions
- Grab a spacious mixing bowl and thoroughly combine the grated onion, carrot, zucchini, and 1 cup of cheddar cheese using a fork until evenly distributed.
- Add 500 g of chicken mince, ¾ cup panko breadcrumbs, 1 large egg, 1 tbsp chopped chives, salt, and pepper to the vegetable mixture. Blend everything thoroughly with your hands until the ingredients are perfectly integrated.
- Shape the mixture into small, compact patties approximately 2 inches in diameter. Gently press each patty to create a slightly flattened surface for even cooking.
- Pour 2 tablespoons of olive oil into a large skillet. Heat the pan over medium heat (around 350°F) until the oil shimmers slightly.
- Carefully place the rissoles into the hot skillet, ensuring they do not overcrowd the pan. Cook for 4-5 minutes on the first side until a golden-brown crust forms.
- Flip the rissoles using a spatula and cook the opposite side for an additional 4-5 minutes. Verify the internal temperature reaches 165°F to ensure complete chicken doneness.
Notes
- Grate vegetables finely to help them blend smoothly and prevent large chunks that might fall apart during cooking.
- Wet your hands with cold water when shaping patties to prevent the mixture from sticking and create neater rissoles.
- For a gluten-free version, swap breadcrumbs with almond meal or crushed gluten-free crackers to maintain the binding texture.
- Test doneness by cutting a rissole in half to ensure the chicken is completely cooked and no pink remains in the center.
