Ingredients

• 2 cups Chicken breast (cooked and shredded)
• 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
• 1 large Egg
• 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 2 stalks Green onions (finely chopped)
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil (for frying)
• 1 large Avocado (peeled, pitted, and mashed)
• 0.25 cup Mayonnaise (for avocado mayo)
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 2 medium Tomatoes (diced)
• 0.25 cup Red onion (finely chopped)
• 2 tablespoons Cilantro (chopped)
• 1 tablespoon Lime juice
• 1 small Jalapeño (finely chopped, optional)
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt (for salsa)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked and shredded chicken, panko breadcrumbs, egg, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, green onions, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until fully combined.

Step 2

Form the mixture into 8 evenly sized patties, about 3 inches in diameter.

Step 3

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the chicken cakes for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and heated through. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Step 4

To make the avocado mayonnaise, mash the ripe avocado in a bowl until smooth. Stir in the mayonnaise and lemon juice, mixing until fully combined. Adjust seasoning with salt if needed, and set aside.

Step 5

For the tomato salsa, combine the diced tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, jalapeño (if using), and salt in a medium bowl. Toss to mix thoroughly.

Step 6

To serve, place two chicken cakes on each plate and spoon a dollop of avocado mayonnaise on top of them. Add a generous serving of tomato salsa on the side. Enjoy!
