Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground chicken
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 large eggs
Seasonings:
- 2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp dried parsley
Binding and Cooking Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp olive oil (for cooking)
- 1 tbsp dijon mustard
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
Instructions
- In a spacious mixing bowl, thoroughly combine ground chicken, breadcrumbs, eggs, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, dried parsley, mayonnaise, dijon mustard, and finely chopped onion until the mixture becomes uniformly blended.
- Gently form the mixture into evenly sized patties, ensuring they are compact and hold together well.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until it shimmers and appears hot, approximately 2-3 minutes.
- Carefully place the chicken patties into the hot skillet, avoiding overcrowding to ensure proper browning.
- Cook patties for 4-5 minutes on each side, turning only once, until they develop a golden-brown exterior and reach an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Transfer cooked patties to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil and allow them to rest for 2-3 minutes.
- Serve immediately while hot, optionally accompanied by a side of fresh salad, dipping sauce, or preferred condiments.
Notes
- Use freshly ground chicken for the juiciest and most flavorful patties, ensuring meat is cold when mixing to help bind ingredients better.
- Avoid overmixing the chicken mixture to prevent tough, dense patties; gently combine ingredients just until they hold together.
- Consider adding finely grated zucchini or carrots for extra moisture and nutrition, which works great for sneaking vegetables into picky eaters’ meals.
- Experiment with alternative breadcrumbs like gluten-free options or almond meal for those with dietary restrictions, maintaining the same binding properties.
