Recently, I have been making a double batch of these Feta and Spinach Chicken Patties on Sunday and using for meal prep during the week and freezing the rest of easy meals later in the month. I am amazed by how well they store in the fridge. In my opinion, I think they taste better after sitting a few days. I will simply heat up in the microwave, skillet or add to the air fryer for 2-3 minutes.
Feta isn’t something that I incorporate into my diet that often, but every now and then it just hits the spot. I usually get really upset stomachs if I have dairy, but these patties don’t seem to throw me off track. However, if you can’t have dairy, try subbing your favorite dairy free cheese.

Yummy!!! If I only use 1 lb of chicken, would you suggest to only do an egg white? Or still the whole egg?
I would use the whole egg and add additional almond flour
A huge hit for the family dinner! We just had a side salad and vegetable and made the Awesome Sauce as a condiment. I needed another way to do chicken and this was simple, tasty and love the versatility of the patties. I look forward to making this again. Thank you for another great recipe.
Wow! Thank you so much.
Can I use regular flour instead of almond if we’re not a GF family? If the almond is for flavor as well, would you recommend adding almond extract (with regular flour) in lieu of almond flour?
I would probably use Panko bread Crumbs instead of regular flour.
My family loved these! Thank you!
