Ingredients

For the Rissoles:

  • 500 g chicken mince
  • 1/2 cup Panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 3 green shallots, finely sliced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 egg, whisked
  • 1 zucchini, shredded and excess moisture squeezed out

For the Dressing:

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp honey

Instructions

  1. Mix the Ingredients:
    In a large bowl, combine the chicken mince, Panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, green shallots, garlic, egg, and shredded zucchini. Season generously with salt and pepper, then mix everything together until well combined.
  2. Shape the Rissoles:
    Divide the mixture into 10 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball, then gently flatten them into patties. Place the patties on a plate and refrigerate for 30 minutes to help them firm up.
  3. Cook in the Air Fryer:
    Lightly mist the rissoles with oil on both sides. Preheat your air fryer to 180°C, then place the rissoles in the basket in a single layer (you may need to cook in batches). Air fry for 10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and cooked through.
  4. Prepare the Dressing:
    While the rissoles are cooking, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and honey in a small bowl until smooth and well combined.
  5. Serve and Enjoy:
    Once the rissoles are done, drizzle them with the dressing or serve it on the side for dipping. Pair with a fresh salad, steamed veggies, or your favorite sides for a complete meal.

These Air Fryer Chicken Rissoles are not only quick and easy but also incredibly versatile. Whether you’re serving them fresh out of the air fryer or packing them for lunch the next day, they’re guaranteed to satisfy. Give them a try and enjoy a fuss-free, flavorful meal!
