Ingredients
- 1 chicken breast
- Cheese, grated
- 1 egg
- Ground black pepper, to taste
- Salt, to taste
Instructions
- Freeze the chicken breast firm.
- Grate the chicken and the cheese; add the egg, salt, and pepper.
- Pour a little water into a baking dish and spread in the mixture.
- Bake at 200C (400F) for 20-25 minutes.
Tips
- Freeze the chicken just until firm, not solid, so it grates easily without thawing into a mush.
- Do not overbake; pull the patties out as soon as the cheese is bubbling and the tops are golden.
