These chicken patties are a hit with everyone in our family, even with the fussier five year old – albeit with a dash of tomato sauce! At 20 months AJ gobbles them up and both Dad 101 and I both go back for seconds 😉 They are quick and easy to make, and wheat and dairy free – the secret being oats in the place of the more traditional breadcrumbs in similar recipes, and the combination of herbs and spices is delicious.
