    • Russian Chicken Patties

    Recipe ingredients

    The list of ingredients is very short and simple. You will need chicken breasts, a little mayonnaise, eggs, garlic, salt and pepper.

    However, I can easily imagine playing around with some more spices and herbs. For instance, some ground paprika powder or curry (not Russian, but tasty for sure), as well as fresh herbs like dill or parsley.

    See the recipe card for full information on ingredients and quantities.

    How to make Russian chicken patties?

    mixture of eggs and diced chicken breast to make patties in a large bowl.

    Step #1: Dice the chicken finely; the cubes should not be larger than 0.2 inches/ ยฝ cm. Place into a bowl and combine with the remaining ingredients.

    many freshly fried russian patties with chicken breast on a plate.

    Step #2: Drop heaping tablespoons of chicken batter into the pan, shaping each with the spoon, and leave space between them. Cook until cooked through - the meat should be fully white.

    Let the mixture sit in the fridge for several hours. This resting time helps the ingredients blend and makes the patties hold their shape better when frying.

    Store and reheat

    Refrigerate leftover chicken fritters in an airtight container for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze them in a single layer on a baking sheet, then transfer them to a freezer-safe container or bag; theyโ€™ll keep for up to 3 months.

    Reheat them in a skillet over medium heat until heated through, or microwave them in 30-second intervals until warm.

    How to serve them?

    That's one of the best things about these chicken patties: they can be served in so many combinations. Have them hot with any rice dish, something like this Vegan Tomato Rice with Zucchini and Carrots.

    Or serve them with mashed potatoes, boiled potatoes, fries, or a potato dish like this New Potatoes in Tomato Sauce.

    They are great as appetizers or party food with a nice dip, for instance, this Garlic Sauce with Sour Cream. Or you could have them on top of a salad with yogurt dressing.

    Equipment

    • Large skillet or non-stick pan
    • Large bowl
    Prevent your screen from going dark

    Ingredients 

    • 3 large chicken breasts about 1.3 lbs/ 600 g
    • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
    • 3 eggs
    • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
    • 2 garlic cloves
    • ยฝ teaspoon fine sea salt
    • ยผ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper Note 1
    • 3-5 tablespoons vegetable oil for shallow frying

    Instructions

    • Dice the chicken breast into fine cubes, about 0.2 inches/ ยฝ cm. Place the cubes into a bowl, preferably one with a lid.
      3 large chicken breasts
    • Combine: Add the mayonnaise, lightly beaten eggs, cornstarch, and grated garlic cloves. Season generously with salt and pepper. Mix well.
      3 tablespoons mayonnaise + 3 eggs + 2 tablespoons cornstarch + 2 garlic cloves + ยฝ teaspoon fine sea salt + ยผ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
    • Refrigerate batter: Cover the bowl with the lid or with plastic wrap. Place in the refrigerator for about 4-6 hours (Note 2).
    • Shape patties: Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a pan. Drop a heaping tablespoon of chicken batter into the pan, shaping it gently with the spoon. Repeat until the pan is full, leaving space between each fritter.
      3-5 tablespoons vegetable oil
    • Cook Russian patties on medium heat for a total time of about 5 minutes, turning once in between, or until cooked through and golden. To make sure that they are cooked through, cut one in the middle, the meat should be completely white. Place the cooked fritters on paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
    • Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more oil between the batches, when necessary.

    Notes

    1. Seasoning: You can add other spices or fresh herbs if you like.
    2. Chiling time: Refrigerate the mixture for several hours; this resting time allows the flavors to blend and helps the patties hold their shape when frying.
