  • 1 can (12.5 ounces) Swanson® Premium White Chicken Breast in Water, drained
  • 1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 1 egg

Instructions

  • Tips

    • For Lettuce Wrap Chicken Burgers: Serve the chicken patties between thick slices of iceberg lettuce. Add your favorite burger toppings.

      For Spiced Chicken Patties: Stir in 1/2 teaspoon each of smoked paprika, onion powder and garlic powder to the chicken mixture before forming the chicken patties.

      For Cajun Chicken Patties: Stir in 2 teaspoons of Cajun seasoning to the chicken mixture before forming the chicken patties.

      For Buffalo Chicken Patties: Stir in 4 teaspoons of cayenne pepper sauce (we like Franks® RedHot®) to the chicken mixture before forming the chicken patties.
  • Step 1

    Heat to oven to 400°F.  Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.

  • Step 2

    Place the chicken into a bowl and break it up into smaller pieces with a fork. Add the cheese and egg and mix well.

  • Step 3

    Shape the mixture firmly into 4 patties (if the patties fall apart easily, place the patties onto a baking sheet and refrigerate for 30 minutes).

  • Step 4

    Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Flip halfway through.
