Ingredients
- 1 lb ground chicken
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs (or gluten-free breadcrumbs for a gluten-free option)
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
- 1/4 cup grated carrot (optional)
- 1 egg
- 1 tbsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp olive oil (for cooking)
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.
