This is one of the first meals I made my husband when we got married 7 years ago and it is still a family favorite! He likes to add the pepper jelly to the cakes and I must admit they do add an extra spicy and sweet kick…Enjoy!
Chicken Cakes:
1/4 cup bread crumbs or gluten free bread crumbs
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast, cooked
1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
1/4 cup greek yogurt
1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 egg
2 large egg whites
1 tbsp coconut oil
Pepper Jelly (optional)
Preparation
- Place chicken in food processor; pulse until ground. Combine chicken, chives, greek yogurt, seasoning, 1/4 teaspoon salt, egg, egg whites, and breadcrumbs in a medium bowl; mix well (mixture will be wet). Divide mixture into 8 equal portions, shaping each into a 1/2-inch-thick patty.
- Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add patties; cook 7 minutes on each side or until done.
- Top with 1 Tbsp pepper jelly (optional)
Mashed Sweet Potatoes:
Ingredients:
4 sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
1/2 cup 1% milk
1 tsp cinnamon
2 tsp butter
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add potatoes and cook until tender, 20 to 30 minutes.
Blend potatoes with an electric mixer on low, slowly adding milk, about 1/2 at a time. Use more or less to achieve desired texture. Add butter and cinnamon to taste. Blend until smooth. Serve warm.
