Savory Ranch Chicken Patties with Creamy Cheddar Drizzle

Ingredients

• Chicken Patties:
• 2 cans of chicken chunks (12.5 fl oz each), drained
• 1 ½ cups of panko bread crumbs
• 1 packet (4 ounces) of finely crushed saltine crackers
• 1 cup of sour cream
• 2 large eggs
• ½ packet (1 ounce) of ranch dressing mix, adjust to your liking
• 1 tablespoon of tangy Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon of flavorful dried onion granules
• 1 teaspoon of spicy ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon of fragrant dried parsley
• 1 tablespoon of cooking oil, or more if necessary
• Creamy Cheddar Sauce:
• 1 can of condensed Cheddar cheese soup (11 ounces)
• 1 cup of chicken broth
• 1 cup of sour cream
• 5 green onions, thinly sliced

Step 1

Whisk together a delightful concoction of chicken, crunchy panko crumbs, crushed saltine crackers, tangy sour cream, eggs, zesty ranch dressing mix, piquant mustard, diced onion, aromatic black pepper, and fresh parsley in a mixing bowl until the flavors meld harmoniously. Mold the savory chicken blend into 8 delectable patties, each about 3/4-inch thick.

Step 2

Next, spread a layer of panko crumbs on a platter and lovingly coat each patty before arranging them on a platter. Allow the patties to chill for at least an hour, or better yet, overnight, to let the flavors deepen and evolve.

Step 3

Heat up a nonstick skillet with a drizzle of vegetable oil over medium heat. Cook the patties until they develop a beautiful golden brown crust and are thoroughly heated, approximately 5 to 7 minutes per side. Once done, delicately transfer the patties onto a baking rack lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Step 4

In a separate saucepan, combine a luscious mixture of soup and broth, bringing it to a gentle boil for about 5 minutes. Lower the heat and stir in creamy sour cream and freshly chopped green onions to create a luscious sauce. Serve the succulent chicken patties drizzled with this flavorful sauce for a truly delightful dining experience.
