Chicken Patties

Serves: 4

Ingredients:
Chicken patties:
1 packet CONTINENTAL Cream of Chicken Soup Mix 
2 cups mashed potatoes 
2 cups chopped cooked chicken 
1/2 cup sliced shallots 
oil for frying, about 1/4 cup 
Tossed Salad:
6 cups mixed lettuce leaves 
1 Lebanese cucumber, sliced 
1/2 green capsicum, sliced 
1 punnet cherry tomatoes, halved 
2 tablespoons salad dressing 

Preparation

Chicken patties: 
step 1:  Place Cream of Chicken Soup Mix, mashed potatoes, chicken and shallots into a bowl and mix well.
step 2:  Divide mixture into eight equal portions. Roll each into a ball, then flatten lightly to form a patty shape.
step 3:  Fry patties gently in hot oil until golden brown on each side. Drain and serve with tossed salad.

Tossed Salad:  Place lettuce, cucumber, capsicum and cherry tomatoes into a bowl. Just before serving add dressing and toss to combine.  

Hint:  When preparing mashed potatoes, drain potatoes well and do not add any extra ingredients, so that the mash remains fairly dry. This will make the patties firmer and easier to shape.
