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.

Such a great recipe! My family, including my 2 year old, loved them!!
Just as a side note – I don’t think the instructions have when to add the almond flour. Just wanted to let you know!
Thank you so much. I will be sure to add.
These are so good. I meal prepped them this weekend for my lunches at work and my son decided to eat a few of them today. Guess I will have to make more!! Definitely going to be made often in my house.
Trying tonight with raw spinach…..not sure if it was supposed to be cooked or from frozen? Kinda thinking bot since it didnt say to. Can you clarify for me thanks.
I always use fresh!
Is the serving size for 1 large patty (makes 8) or a small (makes 12)? Also, do you use regular feta or reduced fat? Thanks!
One large Patty. And I use regular feta
If I wanted to cut this recipe in half to only make 4 patties would I be ok to do everything the same and just use 1lb ground chicken?
Such a quick a tasty meal! Now I have enough to meal prep for the week!
My family loves these! Do you think they can be cooked in the oven instead of stovetop??
Wondering if these could be baked instead of non top of stove….
Hi MJ,
Great question. I’ve personally not tried that with this recipe. Let me know if it works for you. Thanks MJ.

Healthy ..very easy to make. Next time I make it I will be sure to freeze some for a quick lunch!
Thanks Diane for the kind words of support. Thrilled the recipe was a hit.
Hi, these look great and I would love to make them! We cannot eat eggs due to severe allergies. Is there something I can replace the egg with? Or can it be left out? Thank you!
