Ingredients:
- 1 lb (450g) ground chicken
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (panko or regular)
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional for extra flavor)
- 1 egg
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (or 1 tsp dried)
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tbsp olive oil or vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Mixture: In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, egg, minced garlic, chopped onion, parsley, paprika, salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Form Patties: Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape them into patties. Aim for even thickness to ensure uniform cooking.
- Cook the Patties: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the patties without overcrowding the pan. Cook for 4–5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C).
- Serve: Garnish with additional chopped parsley if desired. Enjoy them on their own, with a side of vegetables, or in a sandwich bun.
Tips:
- For extra flavor, add shredded cheese or finely diced bell peppers to the mixture.
- These patties can also be baked in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or frozen for later use.
