Steps

1

Finely chop the onion. Mince the chicken breast with a knife until it has a ground meat texture.
2

In a bowl, combine the chicken, onion, tofu, panko, and all the seasonings. Mix well until fully combined.
3

Shape the mixture with a spoon, then drop it into a bowl of panko breadcrumbs.
4

Coat well with panko, shape neatly, and pan-fry in a generous amount of oil. Start frying over low to medium heat, then finish at a higher temperature to make it crispy.
5

Since you don't use flour or egg, the patties can fall apart easily. In step 3, coat well with panko, and when frying, do not touch until one side is set.
6

As a guideline, fry for 3 minutes on one side, then flip and fry for another 2 minutes.
