Ingredients:
- 1 pound ground chicken (or finely chopped chicken breast)
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (plus 1 cup for coating)
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (for frying)
- Optional: 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning or 1 tablespoon fresh herbs, chopped
Instructions:
- Prepare the Chicken Mixture:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, 1/2 cup breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, beaten egg, minced garlic, onion powder, dried parsley, paprika, salt, black pepper, and optional Italian seasoning or fresh herbs.
- Mix until all the ingredients are well combined.
- Form the Patties:
- Divide the chicken mixture into 4-6 equal portions, depending on the desired size of your patties.
- Shape each portion into a round patty, about 1/2-inch thick.
- Coat the Patties:
- Place the flour on one plate and the remaining 1 cup of breadcrumbs on another plate.
- Lightly coat each patty in flour, shaking off any excess, then dip in the beaten egg, and finally coat with breadcrumbs, pressing gently to ensure the breadcrumbs adhere well.
- Cook the Patties:
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
- Once the oil is hot, add the chicken patties to the skillet, cooking for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through with an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Serve:
- Remove the patties from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
- Serve the breaded chicken patties on a bun with your favorite toppings, or alongside a salad or vegetables.
