Rotisserie Chicken Patties
Makes 8
Patties:
2 cups leftover store bought rotisserie chicken, no skin, shredded
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/2 cup shredded lowfat cheddar cheese
1/2 jalapeno, seeded & minced
Sauce:
1/2 cup light mayonnaise
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1 clove garlic, smashed
Place cilantro, mayo and garlic into the bowl of a food processor and process for 1 minute or until smooth, creamy and pale green. Refrigerate until chicken patties are ready.
In a large bowl combine chicken, egg, cheese and jalapeno until well combined. Form mixture into 8 patties (1/4 cup of mixture per patty).
Coat a nonstick skillet with cooking spray over medium heat. Coat chicken patties with cooking spray. Add patties and cook 4-5 on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Serve with sauce and an extra sprinkling of cilantro.
Don't skimp on the jalapeno because the fiery zip is well worth it! The versatile southwestern style sauce is excellent on fish, shrimp and burgers, too!
