Herb-infused chicken patties: A cheesy delight for dinner

Chicken breasts are one of the most popular choices for dinner. Instead of frying breaded cutlets or chopping the meat into cubes and adding them to pasta in spinach sauce yet again, opt for cheese and herb bites. The secret to a delicious meal lies in the exceptional batter.

Forget about dry and boring cutlets. Poultry patties in herb and cheese batter are a real feast for the palate. Tender and juicy poultry meat, wrapped in an aromatic, cheesy batter, is the ideal combination of flavour and simplicity. Thanks to the herb and cheese coating, the patties take on an appetising, golden colour and a crispy texture.

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

The meat should be left in the marinade for at least an hour. You can also prepare it the day before and store it in the fridge, making it so that the next day you'll only need to fry it.

Ingredients:

• 2 chicken breasts,
• 1 egg,
• 3 tablespoons of Greek yoghurt,
• 3 tablespoons of flour,
• 3 tablespoons of grated yellow cheese,
• Salt and pepper to taste,
• 1 teaspoon of sweet paprika,
• Half a teaspoon of dried garlic,
• Half a teaspoon of hot paprika,
• Half a 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 yoghurt and flour, and mix thoroughly. The batter should be thick.
3. Add all the spices and grated cheese to the mixture and combine.
4. Place the meat pieces in the marinade, ensuring they are completely 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 remove excess oil.

Serve the prepared patties warm with your favourite side dishes. Enjoy your meal!
