Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, chopped onion, grated carrot (if using), egg, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix everything together until well combined.
Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape them into patties, about 1/2-inch thick.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the patties to the pan, cooking them in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding.
Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Use a meat thermometer to ensure an internal temperature of 165°F.
Remove the patties from the skillet and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Storage: Store leftover chicken patties in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.
Freezing: Freeze the patties for up to 3 months. Place them on a baking sheet to freeze individually before transferring to a freezer-safe container.
Reheating: Reheat in a skillet over medium heat for about 5 minutes, or in the oven at 350°F for 10-15 minutes.
