120 g Panko bread crumbs
11 -
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided, for sautéing

Fresh lemon wedges, to serve
# How to Make It:
01 -
In a large mixing bowl, thoroughly whisk together eggs, mayonnaise, flour, dill or parsley, salt, black pepper, and lemon zest until well combined.
02 -
Incorporate the shredded chicken and mozzarella cheese into the egg mixture, mixing until the chicken is evenly coated and all components are integrated.
03 -
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the mixture for at least 30 minutes to allow the batter to firm and flavors to meld.
04 -
Using a trigger-release ice cream scoop or spoon, divide the mixture into 14 equal portions. Shape each portion into a 1.25 cm thick patty and coat both sides in Panko bread crumbs.
05 -
Preheat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add one tablespoon of olive oil and arrange half the patties in the pan. Sauté for 3–4 minutes per side, until golden brown, adding more oil if necessary. Repeat with the remaining patties.
06 -
Sprinkle the hot patties with a small pinch of salt and a generous squeeze of fresh lemon juice immediately after cooking. Serve warm with additional lemon wedges on the side.
