Ingredients
- 2 cups chicken breast cooked and shredded skinless boneless chicken breast
- 2 cups mashed potatoes

FOR THE COATING
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan
- 1 Tbsp. chopped Italian parsley

- 2 cups olive oil canola blend for shallow frying
Instructions
- Start by poaching the chicken breast until just cooked through. Let cool . then use two forks to shred the chicken. Set aside
- Cook the potatoes until soft, mash and season with salt and pepper. For two cups of mashed potatoes I used three medium russet potatoes.
- In a bowl combine the mashed potatoes, shredded chicken, onion, bell peppers, parmesan cheese and egg. Salt and pepper to taste.
- In a separate bowl combine the bread crumbs, parmesan, and Italian parsley. In another add the egg and slightly beat using a fork.
- Form the chicken patties by scooping about 2 tablespoons of the mixture and form into round slightly flatten patties
- Dip each patty first in the egg and then in the bread crumb mixture. Repeat for all the patties
- In a large skillet Heat the frying oil over medium heat. Fry the patties in batches for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crisp. drain on paper towels.
- Serve with my easy marinara sauce and my delicious cucumber, tomato, avocado salad for a complete summer time meal everyone will love.
