LEFTOVER CHICKEN CAKES RECIPE

May.posted by Paula 5 Comments

Jump to Recipe

Leftover Chicken Cakes Recipe is a budget-friendly recipe that turns leftover chicken into a delicious meal or appetizer in minutes. Pan-fry, grill or air fryer instructions included.

Chicken cakes are another great recipe for leftover grilled, poached, or baked chicken. This recipe is very much like crab cakes that you’re probably more familiar with. As well, make them into one or two-bite sizes for appetizers.

It has chicken, peppers, onions, breadcrumbs, eggs, and seasonings. These ingredients are combined, formed into patties, and pan sauteed. Chicken Cake can be eaten by itself with sauce, on a salad, or as a sandwich.

LEFTOVER CHICKEN CAKES RECIPE

Pro-tip, you can substitute almond flour for the breadcrumbs if you’re doing low carb.

Because I just love a sauce or topping on everything, here are my thoughts on what goes well with these. Of course, Easy Remoulade Sauce is good on so many foods and sandwiches. Moe’s Chipotle Ranch Dressing is another very flavorful sauce. Buttermilk Garlic Salad Dressing and Sriracha Comeback Sauce are two other options for sauces that you may like for these patties.

CAN I COOK THESE IN AN AIR FRYER?

Yes, you can. They cook beautifully in an air fryer. You can grill them as well!

Air Fry. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F on the air fryer setting. Spray the basket with nonstick spray and place your chicken cakes in the basket. Air fry for 10-15 minutes, or until the burgers reach an internal temperature of 165°F.

Grill. I recommend placing the chicken cakes in a vegetable or fish basket to cook on the grill because they can break.
