These low calorie chicken patties are a healthy, flavorful option perfect for a light lunch or dinner. Made with lean ground chicken and simple seasonings, they are easy to prepare and cook quickly.
1 pound lean ground chicken breast
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley
1/4 cup whole wheat breadcrumbs
1 large egg white
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon olive oil
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, chopped onion, minced garlic, chopped parsley, whole wheat breadcrumbs, and egg white.
Add salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and ground cumin to the bowl.
Mix all ingredients thoroughly using your hands or a spoon until well combined.
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 3 inches in diameter and 1/2 inch thick.
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Place the chicken patties in the skillet and cook for 6 to 7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the patties are golden brown.
Remove the patties from the skillet and let them rest for 2 minutes before serving.
