This is a killer way to use up leftover cooked chicken! Has a wondeful crispy texture with an exotic melt in your mouth sauce! Has a bit of a Cajun influence and is popular with the men folk. Also makes a nice luncheon choice.

How to make it
- For the Chicken Cakes:
- Melt the butter in a small saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the onions, celery, and bell peppers. Cook, stirring, until the vegetables are soft and slightly golden, 4 to 6 minutes. Add the garlic, 1/4 teaspoon of the salt, and the cayenne. Cook for 1 minute longer. Remove the pan from the heat and cool for 5 minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cooled vegetables, 1/2 cup of the bread crumbs, mayonnaise, eggs, and Creole mustard. Season mixture with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of the salt and the pepper and mix well. Divide the mixture into 12 equal portions, about 1/4 cup each, and form them into oval 1/2-inch thick cakes or patties.
- Place the remaining 1/4 cup of bread crumbs in a shallow dish and dredge each cake in the bread crumbs, pressing gently to coat. Place cakes on waxed paper and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Heat the vegetable oil to 360 degrees F. in a large saute pan. Gently lay the chilled cakes in the oil and fry until lightly golden, 3 to 5 minutes on each side. Remove cakes with a slotted spatula and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with the Homemade Remoulade Sauce.

- Homemade Aioli Remoulade Sauce:
- In the bowl of a food processor or blender, add the Creole mustard, green onions, horseradish, garlic, mustard, hot sauce, Worcestershire, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Process until smooth, about 30 seconds.
- With the motor running, slowly pour the vegetable oil into the blender or food processor in a slow, steady stream. Add the parsley and pulse to combine. Add the capers, pour over chicken patties when serving.
