Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs or panko
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (for cooking)
Instructions
- Mix Ingredients: Place the ground chicken in a large mixing bowl. Add the breadcrumbs, egg, chopped onion, parsley, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix to maintain tender patties.
- Form Patties: Divide the mixture into 6 equal portions and shape each into a patty, ensuring even thickness for consistent cooking.
- Heat Skillet: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. This will prevent the patties from sticking and help achieve a golden crust.
- Cook Patties: Add the patties to the pan and cook for 4 to 5 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F for safe consumption.
- Rest Patties: Remove the patties from the skillet and let them rest for 2 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in moist and flavorful patties.
Notes
- For extra moisture, add 2 tablespoons of milk or mayonnaise to the mixture.
- Serve patties on buns, over salads, or with your favorite vegetables.
- These patties freeze well before cooking; thaw before cooking for best results.
