Chicken cakes? Think crab cakes, but with chicken. Moist, delicious patties filled with flavor for a creative way to prepare chicken. Form into mini patties and they would make great little appetizers. The wonderful lemon flavor comes from the new Progresso Lemon Pepper Panko Crispy Bread Crumbs. I was surprised at the intense lemon flavor; I usually find flavored bread crumbs to be a little dull. Not so with Progresso, the newest staple in my pantry. I am thinking lemon pepper chicken strips and lemon pepper halibut have a place at my table in the near future. There are endless possibilities to the combinations for these bread crumbs. I received a box of bread crumbs to try along with an autographed copy of Michael Chiarello’s Bottega! Products and information was provided from General Mills through MyBlogSpark. How cool is that! Even cooler is that they are providing a gift pack for one of my lucky readers!! Yeah, that’s right you could also have an autographed copy of Bottega by the famous Michael Chiarello from Food Network and Top Chef Masters fame plus a box of Progresso Lemon Pepper Panko.

Adapted from Chiarello’s Crab Cakes from the Progresso site.

1 cup mayonnaise
2 teaspoons spicy brown mustard
2 egg yolks, beaten
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 1/2 cups Progesso Lemon Pepper Panko
1 garlic clove, minced
2 green onions, chopped fine

2 tablespoons butter
Cooking Directions:
Pre-heat oven to 425 degrees. In medium bowl, mix 1 1/2 cups bread crumbs, the mayonnaise, garlic, green onion, lemon juice, mustard, and egg yolks. Using rubber spatula, gently fold in chicken.
2. Shape mixture by 1/4 cupfuls into patties, 2 1/2 inches in diameter.
3. In medium bowl, mix remaining ingredients. Dip chicken cakes into crumb mixture, coating both sides. Place in ungreased 15×10-inch pan with sides.
4. Bake 12 to 15 minutes, turning patties once after 6 minutes, until golden brown. Serve warm.
Enjoy!

The chicken cakes look amazing! I am going to have to keep an eye out for the Lemon Pepper Panko. My local grocery store carries the Italian Panko, but I haven’t seen the Lemon Pepper Panko yet.
I would use the Progresso Lemon Pepper Panko as a crunchy crust for fish or pounded chicken breasts (dip in flour and egg wash first), sauteed in a little olive oil. Just thinking about it makes me hungry…I must get my hands on this panko!
Looks delicious Missy!
I’m thinking baked tilapia with with a lemon pepper panko crust, but i will have to try chicken cakes as well. very original!
quick-seared panko crusted ahi tuna. Something I’ve done many times before and it’s delicious.
And I’m already a FB fan – that’s how I found out about the giveaway!
Looks yummy!!!!!
i think i would use it for boneless chicken breasts. love panko!
i became a fan on facebook!
I would use then to roll my crab cakes in, but I’m thinking your chicken cakes are really good, going to try them soon. what about shrimp, or scallaps, pork chops the list is never ending. I will have to ask for them at all the super markets. Thank you for all your great ideas they keep me wanting to be in the kitchen.
I really don’t like crab cakes but these sound great and Ord will enjoy them as he puts lemon pepper on everything
I think I will try your chicken cakes, sounds sooo good. I tried regular panko crumbs on chicken breast and pork cutlets. I found the lemon pepper panko last trip to town. I’m going to use it on a potato cakes.
Can’t wait to try this recipe….love panko but can’t hardly find it anywhere. We used to use panko on our chicken fried steaks when we had the restaurant
Love panko also! Makes a great crunchy outside. Love your reciepes too!
This recipe is as good as it sounds. The lemon Pablo is very lemony! Glad I tried it. Apple crisp is next:)
I think the lemon pepper crumbs would be awesome on some fried shrimp!
