Ingredients You’ll Need
- 500 g ground chicken
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter for frying
Step-by-Step Instructions
Start by placing the ground chicken into a large bowl.
Add the egg, breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, garlic, parsley, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Mix gently until everything is evenly combined. Avoid overmixing so the patties stay tender.
Using your hands, shape the mixture into medium-sized patties.
Heat olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
Place the patties into the pan carefully, leaving space between them.
Cook for about 4 to 5 minutes on each side until golden brown and fully cooked inside.
The outside should become crispy while the inside stays moist and juicy.
Transfer the cooked patties to a plate lined with paper towels if needed.
Serve warm.
Texture and Flavor
These chicken patties are crispy outside with a soft juicy center.
The parmesan cheese adds savory richness while the garlic gives deep flavor and aroma.
The breadcrumbs help create a satisfying golden crust during cooking.
Tips for Best Results
Use freshly grated parmesan for stronger flavor.
If the mixture feels too soft, chill it for 15 minutes before shaping.
Cook over medium heat so the patties cook through without burning outside.
Avoid pressing the patties too much while frying to keep them juicy.
Serving Ideas
Serve with mashed potatoes, salad, rice, roasted vegetables, or pasta.
They also work perfectly in sandwiches or wraps.
Pair with garlic sauce, yogurt dip, ranch, or spicy mayo.
Storage
Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Reheat in a skillet, oven, or air fryer to keep the exterior crispy.
