Blue Ribbon Recipe
We were excited to try these handmade chicken patties. They're a tasty twist on chicken Parmesan. After cooking in the air fryer, the chicken patties have a crunchy crust and a tender, juicy inside. Sauce and mozzarella cheese add to the chicken Parmesan flavors. We shaped them like a chicken breast to see if anyone in the Test Kitchen realized they were made with ground chicken. No one could tell the difference. An easy air fryer recipe to throw together after a hectic day.
