Ingredients

  • 350 g cooked chicken
  • 120 g bread for breadcrumbs divided
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons 10ml lemon juice
  • ½  teaspoon 2.5ml salt
  • Freshly ground pepper
  • Oil for frying

Equipment

Medium frying pan

Instructions

  • Make the breadcrumbs by blitzing in a food processor. Put 80g into a bowl and 40g onto a large plate
  • Blitz the chicken in the processor until it's finely chopped/minced
  • Add 80g breadcrumbs, eggs, lemon juice, salt, and pepper and blitz briefly until all the ingredients are combined
  • The mixture will be quite stiff
  • Divide the mixture into 8 portions and roll each into a ball then flatten slightly
  • Press the rissoles into the remaining breadcrumbs on each side so that they are well coated
  • Heat a puddle of oil in your frying pan over MEDIUM-HIGH heat
  • You need enough oil to shallow fry - in 1 or 2 batches
  • Fry the rissoles for 8-10 minutes on each side until golden brown
  • Drain on kitchen paper
  • Serve hot or cold.
