Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 0.5 cup finely chopped onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 unit egg
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 0.5 tsp cumin
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (for grilling)

Equipment

  • Grill or stovetop pan
  • Mixing bowl
  • Spatula
  • Meat thermometer
  • Olive oil brush

Method
 

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, chopped onion, garlic, egg, salt, pepper, paprika, and cumin. Mix thoroughly without overworking the meat.
  2. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into round patties about 1/2-inch thick. Chill in the fridge for 15 minutes if desired.
  3. Heat your grill or stovetop pan over medium-high heat and brush it lightly with olive oil.
  4. Place the patties on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F.
  5. Let the patties rest for a couple of minutes before serving. Top with favorite toppings such as sliced tomatoes, lettuce, pickles, or sriracha mayo.

Notes

For a gluten-free version, swap ground chicken for turkey and use almond flour instead of breadcrumbs.
To prevent dry patties, you can add a tablespoon of grated Parmesan cheese to the mix for extra moisture.
Leftover patties can be used in salads or sandwiches, and they store well in the fridge for up to 3 days or can be frozen for longer storage. Always label containers with the date.
