A Total Basset Case!

Hola For Love of a Cupcake readers!

I am Sarah from Total Basset Case and
I am so honored to have been sponsoring Amanda's lovely blog this month!

Hi!

I have a super yummy and 'girly' recipe for you today!

My friend, Pam, sent me this recipe.

I've talked about Pam here and she continues to send me the most fabulous recipes.

I made these Tuscan Chicken Cakes for the Mister and I a few weeks ago and we loved them!
They are very similar to a crab cake, but, you guessed it, with chicken.

I think these would be perfect for a luncheon, a shower, atop some whole wheat pasta or on a salad.

Tuscan Chicken Cakes

2 cans (12.5 oz each) chicken, shredded (I used a couple of boiled chicken breasts)

1 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs, divided

¼ cup mayonnaise

1 egg lightly beaten

¼ cup prepared basil pesto

2 tsp honey mustard

1/3 cup finely chopped roasted red peppers, drained

1/3 cup finely chopped red onion

2 Tbl olive oil

Golden Aioli

½ cup mayonnaise

2 Tbl honey mustard

Pesto Aioli

½ cup mayonnaise

2 Tbl prepared pesto

Prepare both aioli flavors in separate small bowls. Whisk together

the ingredients and refrigerate until ready to use.

In large bowl, mix together chicken, ½ cup bread crumbs, mayo,

egg, pesto, honey mustard, roasted peppers, and red onion. Using

1/3-cup measure, shape chicken mixture into 8 cakes; refrigerate

for 2 hours. Remove from frig and lightly coat each cake with

remaining ½ cup bread crumbs. In large nonstick skillet, heat

oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until golden

brown, about 3 minutes per side; drain on paper towels. Serve

with both of the aioli toppings.

Enjoy!

Let me know if you try these out!

And feel free to stop by and say hello to Floyd and I!
