Chicken and corn patties
Posted in chicken, Chinese, corns, Featured Articles, Featured recipe, finger food, vegetable
The ease to manage and chew makes patties a kids-friendly food. That’s why most kids find food appealing when presented in the form of patties. Patties are suitable to be served as a light meal, during kid’s parties or even to be packed into a kid’s lunchbox. They are also great as picnic food since proper cutleries are not required for eating. I would recommend to include greens when preparing your homemade patties. Not only they come out tastier but also more nutritious for your kids as well. It’s also another fantastic trick to “sneak” veggies into your kid’s diet.
Corn-in-a-cob is among my favourite veggies that appears frequently on my grocery shopping list. It’s inexpensive and a versatile ingredient to be added for cooking. I love the extra natural sweetness and colour it brings to my dishes. Besides that, corn (or sweetcorns) is packed with wonderful nutrients like thiamin (vitamin B1), pantothenic acid (vitamin B5), folate, dietary fiber, vitamin C, phosphorus and manganese. It is also rich in beta-carotene (a good source of Vitamin A) to protect your child’s body from disease.
Corn is high on fiber so it is not an ideal first puree for babies whose digestive system is still immature. However, for toddlers and older kids, it makes great finger food.
My hubby and son love eating patties and corn. So, one fine day when I was figuring how to cook my ear of corn, the thought of making patties suddenly popped up. With my personal concoction, I whipped up these chicken and corn patties. I combined minced chicken, corn and a chock-full of vegetable, added seasonings and bound them with egg and breadcrumb. Then I started to cook them batch by batch. It just took me half an hour from start to finish. They are very easy-to-make, taste delicious and satisfying to eat! Even though it was my first attempt, I had already received rave review from both my hubby and son.
Minced chicken gives the patties a soft and easy-to-chew texture for your toddler’s little teeth. The fresh corns and water chestnut provide the natural sweetness and crunchiness. If served with some dipping sauce, these homemade patties will turn up as a great super fast treat for your kids.
Other patties you may try for your toddlers:

These look great for kids and grown-ups alike! I love serving little patties like this at parties.
These patties look so appetizing, bet these will be popular with both kids and adults alike 🙂
I just tried this recipe and it was a HIT with the dear daughter.
She gobbled sooo many of those patties.
I am going to try the recipe but I am going to try baking the patties. I am definitely going to try your other recipes. Thank you.
Luffie: Thanks for your kind feedback! So happy to know the outcome. That’s a great idea to bake these patties. Love to hearing from you again. 😉
I plan on making these this week! For grownups 🙂 What do you suggest to serve with them, if they are part of dinner. Thanks!
Lauren: Thanks for trying this recipe. These patties are great as starter/ appetizer and best to accompany with some salads. Hope you will like this idea. 😉
I made these for my fussy daughter because (1) she loves chicken and (2) she loves corn. I diced the french beans & water chestnut into very tiny pieces because I didn’t know if she would love those.
And surprisingly, my daughter loved them! Because she’s only 2, I made these really small.
Going to make it for a todder’s party next week! Thanks for this recipe! Now I’m going to browse around for more recipes to try.
I’m a new reader and definitely a fan!
Karen: I’m so happy that your little gal loved them. Hope it will be well-received in your upcoming toddler’s party too! Thanks for your kind support and being my fan. 😉
Sounds delicious! Going to have to try this. Is the chicken pre-cooked or raw?
Maribel: Thanks! The chicken is raw. So make sure the chicken is properly cooked during the pan-frying process. Hope you will like it. 😉
My tots loved this!!! Thanks so much for yet another wonderful recipe (that works!).
Paik Ling: Thanks for your kind feedback!! So happy to know the outcome. 😉
hey i just made these for myself today (but used minced chicken, corn and some diced red peppers, and added in the bread crumbs, egg and some chives) all i can say is YUMMY! 🙂
Lingzie: Thanks for the kind feedback! What a great idea to include red peppers and chives! Will try your version next time. 😉
Hi, will it be ok if I subsititute minced pork instead of minced chicken?
Ling: Yes, you can give it a try but the overall taste and texture will be varied.
I tried these today. Very yummy ;D. My kids like it. Yippie!
I added diced Japanese cucumber, crunchy!
Thank you for sharing!
Grace: Wow! That’s great!! It’s my pleasure to share. 😉

How do you suggest “mincing” the chicken?
Can this be cooked on a cast iron skillet?
D: You can cut the chicken into small pieces and then chop until fine. Otherwise, you can use a food processor to do the job. Yes, you can use a cast iron skillet. Happy trying!! 😉
Isn’t easier to just get ground chicken? Is that ok for this?
Simona: Yes, you can use ground chicken if you like. I prefer to ground the chicken at home as it’s more hygiene.
These sound delicious. I can’t wait to try them for my grand kids. Have you tried freezing them? Do you think they would freeze well?
Carla: I haven’t tried freezing them but it sounds possible to freeze them. Make the patties, put them on a baking sheet lined with aluminium foil and then freeze for 2-3 hours until solid. Then transfer to a zip lock bag. You can freeze them for 3-4 days. Cook them direct from frozen. You may need to extra 30 seconds of cooking time. Make sure the patties are cooked well. Happy trying! Hope your grand kids will love them! 😉
