Discover the magic of cheese and herb chicken patties

Chicken breasts are among the most popular choices for dinner. Instead of frying breaded cutlets or cutting the meat into cubes to add to pasta with spinach sauce again, try cheese and herb bites. The secret to delicious success lies in the exceptional batter.

Forget about dry and boring cutlets. Poultry patties in herb and cheese batter are a treat for the palate. Tender and juicy poultry, wrapped in an aromatic, cheesy batter, is the perfect blend of flavour and simplicity. Thanks to the herb and cheese coating, the patties develop an appetizing, golden colour and a crispy texture.

Herbal marinade penetrates every piece of chicken, while the cheese wonderfully enhances the entire dish. Poultry patties in herb and cheese batter are perfect for a family dinner or a warm evening meal. You can pair them with your favourite side dishes. They complement a wide variety of options, from classic potatoes and coleslaw to light salads and grilled vegetables.

The meat should marinate for at least an hour. You can also prepare it the day before and refrigerate it, ensuring that the next day you'll only need to fry it.

Ingredients:

• 2 chicken breasts,
• 1 egg,
• 3 tablespoons of Greek yogurt,
• 3 tablespoons of flour,
• 3 tablespoons of shredded yellow cheese,
• Salt and pepper to taste,
• 1 teaspoon of sweet paprika,
• 1/2 teaspoon of dried garlic,
• 1/2 teaspoon of hot paprika,
• 1/2 teaspoon of smoked paprika,
• 1 tablespoon of Herbes de Provence,
• Oil.

Preparation method:

1. Slice the chicken breasts lengthwise into fillets.
2. In a bowl, crack the egg, add the yogurt and flour, and mix thoroughly until the batter is thick.
3. Add all the spices and shredded cheese to the mixture and combine well.
4. Place the meat pieces in the marinade, ensuring they are fully covered.
5. Refrigerate for an hour.
6. Heat oil in a pan.
7. Dip the patties in the batter and fry on both sides until golden brown.
8. Place them on a paper towel to absorb excess oil.

Serve the prepared patties warm with your favourite side dishes. Bon appétit!
