Scale
Meat and Binding
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
Flavorings and Add-ins
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onions
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Cooking and Serving
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Mix ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine ground chicken, breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, onions, parsley, garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper. Use your hands to mix until just combined, ensuring all ingredients are evenly incorporated without overmixing.
- Form patties: Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape into ¾-inch thick patties. Press your thumb into the center of each patty to prevent puffing during cooking.
- Preheat skillet: Heat a large non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Add olive oil to coat the bottom.
- Cook patties: Place the patties in the hot skillet. Cook for 5-6 minutes until golden brown on the first side, then flip and cook another 5-6 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- Ensure doneness: Use a meat thermometer to check for proper temperature. If needed, cook a little longer on medium-low heat.
- Serve: Remove from heat and serve hot with your favorite toppings and buns.
