Mix the Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken with the shredded sharp cheddar cheese. Crack the egg into the mixture, followed by the mayonnaise and cayenne pepper. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Use a spoon or your hands to mix everything together until well combined. -
Shape the Patties:
With clean hands, divide the mixture into 6 equal portions and shape them into patties. Ensure each patty is compact and uniform in thickness to cook evenly. -
Coat the Patties:
Place a generous amount of bread crumbs on a plate. Gently press each patty into the bread crumbs, coating both sides thoroughly. This will give the patties a crispy, golden exterior once cooked. -
Cook the Patties:
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add enough cooking oil to lightly coat the bottom. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the patties in the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through, with an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). -
Serve:
Remove the patties from the skillet and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil. Serve the patties warm on burger buns with additional cheese slices and tomato slices if desired. These patties are also delicious on their own or with a side salad.
Enjoy your Chicken and Cheese Patties with a side of your favorite condiments or toppings for a tasty and satisfying meal! 🧀🍔🍅
