sour cream
1 teaspoon salt
1⁄2 teaspoon dried thyme

1⁄2 teaspoon pepper
1⁄4 teaspoon grated fresh lemon rind
2⁄3 cup fine dry breadcrumbs

Stir together mashed potatoes, chicken, Parmesan/cheddar cheese, egg, just enough sour cream to form a stiff mixture, salt, dried thyme, garlic powder, pepper, and grated fresh lemon rind. Chill mixture 1 hour. Shape into 2″ balls.
Place dry breadcrumbs in a shallow dish. Roll balls in breadcrumbs, coating evenly.
