Ingredients

• 2 cups Cooked chicken breast (shredded)
• 0.5 cups Panko breadcrumbs
• 0.25 cups Grated Parmesan cheese
• 0.25 cups Sun-dried tomatoes (finely chopped)
• 1 cup Fresh spinach (chopped)
• 2 Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 cups Mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 0.25 teaspoons Turmeric
• 1 teaspoons Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoons Honey

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, and chopped spinach.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Pour this mixture into the chicken mix and stir until everything is well combined.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, carefully place the chicken cakes into the skillet in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.

Step 5

Cook the chicken cakes for approximately 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Step 6

To make the golden aioli, whisk together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, turmeric, lemon juice, and honey in a small bowl. Adjust seasoning to taste if needed.

Step 7

Serve the warm chicken cakes with a generous drizzle of the golden aioli or as a dipping sauce on the side. Enjoy!
