Set cream cheese out to soften.
Using a fork, mash chicken with juices in a medium bowl.
Add the cream cheese, egg, sage, garlic powder, black pepper, onion powder, Italian seasoning and bread crumbs; mix well.
Form six patties.
In a medium skillet heat olive oil over medium heat.
Fry patties for 5- to 6 minutes on each side or until crispy on the outside and heated through.

Choose the canned chicken lowest in sodium.Melanie uses Keystone Chicken (available at Walmart).
Chicken Patties are very similar to salmon or tuna patties, but might be better liked by someone who doesn't care for fish.
Look for Kikkoman brand panko bread crumbs-- the sodium content is lower compared to commercial and generic unseasoned bread crumbs. Unsalted or low-sodium crushed saltines are an acceptable alternative to the bread crumbs.
Variations: instead of patties, form into 24 chicken meatballs. Meatballs could be eaten as a high-protein snack or used with theDaVita.com Roasted Red Pepper Sauce recipe over pasta.
