In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, Dijon mustard, and egg. Mix until fully incorporated.

Step 2: Add Seasonings and Breadcrumbs
Stir in dried thyme, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Add breadcrumbs gradually until the mixture holds together but isn’t too dry. Adjust with more breadcrumbs if necessary.
