These Easy Chicken Rissoles make a great easy dinner – and they are freezer friendly too!
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.
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.
