Step 1:

How do you make chopped chicken patties with mayonnaise? Gather everything on the list: chicken fillet (use chilled—it makes juicier patties), an egg, onion, mayonnaise (mine is 67% fat), salt, a high-smoke-point oil for frying, and breadcrumbs.
Step 2:

Rinse the fillet, trim off any excess fat and membranes, and pat it dry with paper towels. Chop the meat very finely with a knife.
Step 3:

Rinse, peel, and finely dice the onion. To keep the onion fumes from stinging your eyes, rinse the knife and the onion in cold water first.
Step 4:

In a deep bowl, combine the chopped chicken, onion, and mayonnaise, crack in the egg, and add salt. Mix thoroughly.
Step 5:

Add a spoonful of breadcrumbs to bind the mixture and knead it well.
Step 6:

Put the flour in a handy container for dredging (I used a sheet of plastic wrap). Shape the patties and roll them in the flour.
Step 7:

Heat a skillet and add the frying oil. To tell when the oil is hot enough, dip in a spatula: if bubbles gather around it, it's time to fry. Lay the flour-dredged patties in the pan (not too crowded). Fry on one side until browned, about 3–4 minutes. Times are approximate, since everyone's stove and pan are different.
Step 8:

Flip and fry the second side for about 2–3 minutes, then finish cooking through under a lid (you can add a splash of water, just a tablespoon).

Wonderful juicy patties the whole family will love. Serve them with any side or salad.
You can make these chopped patties not just from chicken breast fillet but from thigh fillet, drumstick, and so on. You can also use this recipe with turkey, pork, or beef—it turns out great too. Just keep in mind that different meats take different amounts of time to cook.
Always wash eggs before using them, since even a shell that looks clean can carry harmful bacteria. A food-safe wash and a brush work best.
Important! The wrong skillet can ruin even the best recipe. For all the details on how to choose the perfect pan for different dishes, read here.
It's better to make your own mayonnaise—it's tastier and healthier. See some good homemade mayonnaise recipes here. You can also use sour cream or plain yogurt as a dressing instead of mayonnaise, either on their own or blended with mayonnaise in any ratio you like—that lightens up the dish.
If you use a ready-made spice blend, always check the ingredient list on the package. These blends often already contain salt, so keep that in mind or you risk over-salting the dish.
