There’s just something nostalgic about a crispy chicken patty sandwich — soft bun, crunchy outside, juicy inside, and a little sauce to tie it all together.
But the frozen versions? Full of fillers, preservatives, and who-knows-what.

This Homemade Chicken Patty Sandwich brings all that satisfying flavor and crunch — but made clean, simple, and easy in your own kitchen.
They’re pan-crisped or air-fried, full of real ingredients, and perfect for weeknight dinners or a better-for-you fast food fix.

Ingredients:

For the chicken patties:

• 1 lb ground chicken (or turkey)

• ½ cup almond flour or whole wheat breadcrumbs

• 1 egg

• 1 tsp garlic powder

• ½ tsp paprika

• ½ tsp onion powder

• Salt and pepper to taste

• 1 tbsp avocado oil (for pan-frying)

For the sandwich:

• 4 whole wheat or gluten-free sandwich buns

• 4 leaves romaine or green leaf lettuce

• 4 tomato slices (optional)

• 4 slices cheddar or dairy-free cheese (optional)

• ¼ cup avocado oil mayo or Greek yogurt

• 1 tsp Dijon mustard or ketchup

Instructions:

1. Make the patties
   In a bowl, mix ground chicken with almond flour, egg, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Form into 4 equal-sized patties.

2. Cook the patties
   Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook patties for 4–5 minutes per side, until golden and cooked through (165°F internal temp).
   Air fryer option: Cook at 390°F for 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway.

3. Toast the buns
   Toast buns lightly in a skillet or toaster for extra texture.

4. Assemble the sandwiches
   Spread mayo or yogurt on each bun, add the cooked chicken patty, lettuce, tomato, and cheese if using. Add the top bun and press gently.

5. Serve hot
   Pair with sweet potato fries, veggie sticks, or a simple salad.

Sarah’s Tips:

• Make it spicy: Add a pinch of cayenne to the mix or a splash of hot sauce to your mayo.

• Dairy-free version: Use a vegan cheese or skip it altogether — the flavor holds up.

• Make ahead: Form and freeze uncooked patties, then cook from frozen when needed (add 2–3 minutes to cooking time).

• Kid-friendly: Leave out the spices and serve with ketchup on a slider bun.

Flavorful Conclusion:

This Homemade Chicken Patty Sandwich is everything you want in a crispy sandwich — savory, juicy, and full of flavor — but made with clean, simple ingredients in your own kitchen. Whether it’s a family dinner or a make-ahead lunch, this one’s easy, comforting, and way better than frozen.
