Golden, cheesy pan-fried chicken patties with crispy edges

Ingredients

Directions

1. In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken, mozzarella, and egg. Stir until the egg is evenly incorporated and the mixture holds together.
2. Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and gently shape each portion into a compact patty.
3. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place the patties in the dry skillet, working in batches if necessary and leaving a little space between each one.
4. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes on the first side, until golden brown and crisp around the edges. Carefully flip and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes, until the second side is golden and the cheese is fully melted.
5. Transfer to a serving plate and enjoy hot while the outside is crisp and the centre is irresistibly cheesy.
