Salad Ingredients















Instructions
Step 1
Start by briefly **blanching** the broccoli in boiling water. This step helps to soften the broccoli and enhance its vibrant color. After a couple of minutes, carefully remove the broccoli and separate it into **florets**.
Next, use a blender to **finely chop the broccoli** into small pieces. This texture will help to bind the patties together.
Step 2
:: In a separate bowl, thoroughly **chop the chicken fillet** into small chunks. The smaller the pieces, the better they will incorporate with the other ingredients.
Grate the **cheese** and crush the **garlic** cloves, adding them to a mixing bowl once done.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped broccoli, chicken, grated cheese, crushed garlic, and other ingredients. Add in **two eggs** and **two tablespoons of flour**. Season your mixture with salt and pepper according to your taste. Mix everything together until well combined.
Step 4
Heat a frying pan over a medium flame. Once hot, add a small amount of **olive oil** to the pan. With the mixture ready, form your patties into desired shapes and place them in the pan.
Cook the patties until they are golden brown, turning them occasionally to ensure even cooking on all sides. This should take about 5-7 minutes for each side.
Step 5
Once cooked, remove the patties from the pan and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb extra oil. Prepare a light salad using **radish, cucumber, zucchini**, and **edamame beans** as a side dish. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt.
Finally, serve your delicious chicken broccoli patties hot alongside the fresh salad for a **wholesome meal**.
Servings

Picture a vibrant bowl filled with crisp radish, crunchy cucumbers, tender zucchini, and delicious edamame beans—all drizzled with a hint of olive oil and a sprinkle of salt.

Equipment
A powerful blender will help you finely chop the broccoli for a nice texture. If you don’t have one, finely chopping by hand works too!



A non-stick skillet is perfect for cooking the patties without them sticking. Make sure it’s preheated for that golden-brown finish!



Use a box grater for the cheese and garlic. This ensures they blend seamlessly into your mixture, enhancing the flavor.


A sturdy spoon or spatula will help you mix all the ingredients thoroughly without making a mess!
Variations
Want to keep it gluten-free? Simply swap out the regular flour for a gluten-free alternative, and you're good to go. And if you're looking for a **vegan twist**, replace the chicken with chickpeas or lentils and use a flax egg instead of regular eggs! Both variations are sure to be tasty and accommodating for all dietary preferences! 🥗✨
Faq
- What if my chicken is not finely chopped?
If your chicken pieces are too large, the patties may not hold together as well. It’s best to chop them into smaller pieces or pulse them in the blender briefly for a more uniform mixture.
- How do I know when my patties are done cooking?
The patties should be golden brown on the outside and cooked all the way through. You can cut one open to check or use a meat thermometer to ensure they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
- Can I freeze the patties?
Absolutely! You can freeze the uncooked patties on a baking sheet, then transfer them to a freezer bag. They can be cooked from frozen—just add a couple of extra minutes to the cooking time!
- What are some good seasoning options?
Feel free to mix in your favorite herbs and spices! Garlic powder, paprika, or Italian seasoning can elevate the flavor. Just don't go overboard—the balance is key!
- How do I keep the patties from falling apart?
Ensure your mixture has the right combination of binding agents. The cheese and eggs serve this purpose, so don’t skip those! If the mixture feels too wet, add a bit more flour.
- Can I add vegetables to the patties?
Definitely! Grated carrots or finely chopped spinach can be great additions. They will add both flavor and nutrition!
