Cheesy Chicken Patties with Broccoli

With a gorgeous golden brown crust and almost an entire head of broccoli in them, it’s hard to believe these Chicken Patties are BAKED, not fried! Once you start eating these, it’s hard to stop – they are just so, so good!

Serve this for dinner with crusty bread slathered with butter and a side salad. Or put out a platter with a dipping sauce as a starter to share!
