Frozen Chicken Patties
What it is
These are pre-cooked chicken patties, made from ground chicken that has been formed into a round shape. They are typically seasoned and then frozen for convenience. The patties are designed to be heated and served as part of a meal. They offer a quick way to incorporate chicken into dishes without the need for raw preparation. The texture is usually firm but tender, and the flavor is savory.

These versatile patties are a convenient base for many quick meals.
- Sandwiches
- Salads
- Bowls
- Appetizers
To prepare, you can cook these chicken patties from frozen. They can be heated in a skillet on the stovetop over medium heat until they are hot all the way through. Alternatively, they can be baked in an oven at a moderate temperature until heated. Microwaving is also an option for a very fast meal. Once heated, they are ready to be placed on a bun, added to a salad, or served alongside your favorite sides. Ensure they are thoroughly heated before serving.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to raw chicken breasts, these patties are already shaped and cooked, saving significant preparation and cooking time. They offer a consistent texture and flavor profile that is often different from homemade patties due to the grinding and forming process.
How to keep the rest
After opening the package, store any remaining uncooked patties in the freezer. Keep them in their original packaging or transfer them to an airtight container or freezer bag to prevent freezer burn. Ensure they remain frozen until ready for use.
