    We love rissoles in our house as they are an easy budget meal, I can use them to sneak extra veggies into the kids and I can easily double the batch to pop them into the freezer for an easy meal another time.

    This recipe is VERY similar to our favourite Beef and Vegetable Rissoles, and you can make these either by buying chicken mince or mincing your own from chicken breast. You can add whatever vegetables you like to this recipe, we also enjoy them with grated sweet potato or even finely chopped baby spinach leaves.

    You will love:

    Versatile – you can adjust the size of these Chicken Rissoles to suit your family, we like to make smaller rissoles for the kids. You can also omit and substitute the vegetables in this recipe.

    Easy Dinner – this recipe takes just 15 minutes to prepare, why not try preparing the rissoles in the morning and then cooking in the evening?

    Budget friendly – made with simple and easy to source ingredients, these Chicken Rissoles are a budget friendly meal.

    Freezer friendly – freeze both cooked and uncooked rissoles for up to three months.

    Tips for Making these easy Chicken Rissoles:

    You can use chicken mince or chicken breast pieces (which you can mince yourself) if making conventionally, or if you are making these in your Thermomix, the method will be the same.

    It’s important to chill the mixture before cooking as this is what helps the patties to keep their shape.

    This mixture will make approximately 10 patties. You can make them smaller/larger however the cooking time will change.

    This recipe is freezer friendly.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Can I make my own chicken mince?

    You sure can! We prefer to use chicken breast and blitz in either a food processor or Thermomix until the desired consistency is achieved.

    Is chicken mince healthier than beef mince?

    Chicken mince has a lower fat content compared to beef mince which can make it a healthier option.

    Can you freeze chicken rissoles?

    Chicken rissoles can be frozen both raw or cooked for up to three months.

      Hi! Might be a silly question but is it best to freeze the rissoles before cooking or after cooking?
      Thanks in advance 🙂

        Hi, You can really freeze either. I prefer to freeze them cooked as I find it easier – and quicker

      I made these as per recipe and chilled for 5 hours, however found the mixture was very wet and didn’t hold together, added flour which helped , think next time I will add potato and an egg

        Hi Linda, Thanks for your feedback. The brand of chicken mince that you use can also impact the consistency as sometimes mince from the supermarket will have a higher water content.
