Equipment

Ingredients
Patties
- 1 lb ground chicken
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Optional Add-ins
- 1/4 cup chopped onions
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley chopped

Instructions
Preparation
- In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, breadcrumbs, egg, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until just combined. If using optional add-ins, fold them in gently.
- Divide the mixture into four equal parts and shape each into a patty, ensuring they are of even thickness for uniform cooking.
Cooking
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
- Place the patties on the grill and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Use a meat thermometer to ensure accuracy.
Serving
- Serve the patties on your choice of buns with your favorite toppings and condiments. Enjoy hot with a side of fries or salad.
Storage
- Cool the patties completely before storing them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days, or wrap and freeze for up to two months.
- To reheat, thaw frozen patties overnight in the fridge and warm them in a skillet or oven at 350°F until heated through.
