Why This Dish Is Worth Trying
This dish combines crispy, flavorful chicken patties with a creamy, tangy cheddar sauce that adds a perfect kick. It’s easy to make and satisfies both comfort food cravings and a desire for bold flavors.
Step 1
In a large bowl, mix together the chicken, panko, crushed saltines, sour cream, eggs, ranch seasoning, mustard, onion, black pepper, and parsley until everything is well combined. Shape the mixture into about 8 patties, each around three-quarters of an inch thick.
Step 2
Pour some panko onto a plate and press each patty into it to coat both sides. Then, place the patties on a platter and pop them in the fridge to chill for at least an hour, or even overnight if you have time.
Step 3
When you’re ready to cook, heat a little vegetable oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties for 5 to 7 minutes on each side until they’re golden brown and cooked through. Once done, transfer them to a baking rack lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 4
Meanwhile, combine the soup and broth in a small saucepan and heat it until it just starts to boil. Lower the heat and stir in the sour cream and green onions until everything is warmed through and smooth.
Step 5
Serve the patties hot, spooning the cheesy ranch sauce over the top. Enjoy!

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh chicken instead of canned chicken chunks?
Yes, you can cook and shred fresh chicken breast or thighs before using it in the recipe.
How long should I chill the patties before cooking?
Chill them for at least one hour to help them hold together better, or overnight for best results.
Can I bake the patties instead of frying?
Yes, bake at 375°F (190°C) for about 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through until golden and cooked through.
What can I substitute for ranch dressing mix?
You can use your favorite ranch seasoning or a mix of dried herbs like dill, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Is there a way to make the sauce thicker?

Can I prepare the patties ahead of time and freeze them?

What is the best oil to use for frying the patties?

Can I use a different type of cheese soup for the sauce?
