Spicy Chicken Cakes Instructions:

  2. Place bread in a food processor; pulse 10 times or until coarse crumbs.  Measure out 1 cup to use in this recipe’ set breadcrumbs aside.  NOTE: If you have remaining breadcrumbs, place in a resealable plastic bag and freeze for future use.  Check out my web page on Making Homemade Bread Crumbs.

  3. Place chicken pieces in food processor; pulse just until ground.  Be carefully not to process too long.

  4. In a medium-size bowl, combine ground chicken, chives or green onions, mayonnaise, Cajun seasoning, 1/4 teaspoon salt, egg whites, and breadcrumbs; mix well (mixture will be wet).  Divide mixture into either 4 large or 8 small patties, approximately 1/2-inch-thick each.

Recipe Notes

** The U.S. Department of Agriculture, as well as food agencies in the United Kingdom and elsewhere, advises against washing poultry.  Rinsing chicken will not remove or kill much bacteria, and the splashing of water around the sink can spread the bacteria found in raw chicken.  Cooking poultry to 165 degrees Fahrenheit effectively destroys the most common culprits behind food-borne illness.
