Savory Baked Chicken Patties with Mustard Crust
These Savory Baked Chicken Patties are a delightful twist on traditional chicken burgers. Made with lean ground chicken and a blend of aromatic spices, they're not only packed with flavor but also easy to prepare. My husband raves about them when layered in a sandwich with gooey cheese and my homemade Smoky & Spicy BBQ sauce. What’s particularly exciting about this recipe is its versatility; I originally created it without eggs, which means you can skip them if you don’t have any on hand. For an extra touch, a bit of mustard helps the panko breadcrumbs cling better, ensuring that each bite is crisp and satisfying. While they may not achieve that golden-brown color in the oven, their taste is undeniably delicious and guilt-free. Serve these patties at your next family meal, and watch them disappear!
