Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs can be gluten-free if needed
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped parsley
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped mint
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 unit zest of 1 lemon
  • 1 unit juice of 1 lemon
  • 1 unit egg
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • olive oil for cooking

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Gather all the ingredients and chop the herbs finely. The smaller the pieces, the more flavor will infuse into the patties.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, mint, garlic, oregano, lemon zest, lemon juice, egg, salt, and pepper. Use your hands or a spatula to mix everything until well-combined but take care not to overmix.
  3. With your hands, form the mixture into patties about 1 inch thick. Aim for even sizes for consistent cooking.
  4. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add olive oil. Once hot, carefully place the patties in the pan, cooking for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until they’re golden brown and fully cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F).
  5. Remove the patties from the skillet and let them rest for a few minutes. Serve warm with your favorite toppings and sides.

Notes

Experiment with herbs. Fresh basil or dill can also be wonderful additions. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
