Chicken Crab Cakes

This recipe is supposed to make you think of crab cakes, but it's made with chicken. It was more like chicken croquettes. Either way, it was good.

2 1/2 cups shredded cooked chicken meat (finely shredded)
1/2 cup cracker crumbs
1/4 cup minced onion
3/4 - 1 tsp Citrus Grill seasoning
1/4 - 1/2 tsp Dijon or yellow mustard
Dash cayenne pepper
1/4 cup mayonnaise (or more, to moisten)
1 egg
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
4 dashes hot sauce
1 cup seasoned bread crumbs
1/4 cup olive oil for frying

I used the food processor to chop up the chicken and mince the onion with some fresh parsley (not at the same time). Put them in a large bowl and combine with the other ingredients except the bread crumbs. Form into patties using a 1/3 cup measure to scoop it up. Roll in the seasoned bread crumbs and fry in the olive oil until crisp on both sides.

Serve with mustard, catsup, or a combination. Or seafood sauce.

Makes about 5.

We had a wilted spinach salad with it.

Wilted Spinach Salad

Fresh spinach
1 hard cooked egg, diced
(2 - 3 sliced mushrooms)
2 - 3 strips bacon
2 tbsp bacon grease
1/4 cup finely diced onion
1 tbsp sugar
1 - 2 tbsp wine vinegar

Put the spinach in the serving bowl with the diced egg and sliced mushrooms. Cook the bacon very slowly until it's totally crisped. Remove from the pan and leave 1 tbsp of the bacon grease. Stir in the onion and saute until tender. Remove from heat and let it cool a bit. Stir in the sugar, stir to melt, and stir in the wine vinegar. (If the pan is too hot it will clear your sinuses). Stir well, and pour over the spinach mixture.

What in Citrus Grill seasoning?

Geez.. I'll pass on that. Haven't had a chicken croquette since my maw made them when I was a kid. Can't even remember whether I liked them or not. But on another subject: What was the deal on dipping chicken in yogurt and corn flakes? Might have been Jeri's blog, but that wasn't the subject. Any recipe will do. I just want to try something new and yogurt and chicken certainly qualifies as new for me.

That yogurt baked chicken recipe came from Mike and Fredo. They are very weight conscious, and it's an adaptation of the recipe where you slather the chicken with mayonnaise or sour cream so the crumbs will stick to it and then you bake it. Although it's very popular, I don't like Greek yogurt because it tastes like chalk to me.

Jeri and I both soak our frying chicken in buttermilk, but not yogurt, thinking that makes the meat moister when you cook it.
