Ingredients

• 1/2 cup quinoa, rinsed
• 1 cups water
• 1 cup chicken, cooked and shredded
• 1/4 cup hot sauce or to taste
• 1/4 cup onion, finely diced
• 1/2 cup cheddar, shredded
• 1/4 cup blue cheese, crumbled
• 1 egg
• 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
• salt and pepper to taste
• oil for frying

Directions

Simmer the quinoa in the water until the liquid has been absorbed and the quinoa is tender, about 15 minutes, and let cool enough to handle.

Mix the cooked quinoa with the chicken, hot sauce, onion, cheddar cheese, blue cheese, egg, breadcrumbs, salt and pepper, adding more breadcrumbs if required to allow it to hold its shape.

Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat.

Spoon the mixture into the pan and form patties of any size that you desire and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 2-4 minutes per side, and set aside on paper towels to drain.
