Equipment
- 1 Mixing Bowl large
- 1 non-stick skillet
- 1 Meat Thermometer
Ingredients
Patties
- 1 lb ground chicken
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
Optional Add-ins
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1/4 cup finely diced onion
Instructions
Preparation
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.
- Divide the mixture into four equal parts and shape them into patties. Make sure each patty is of even thickness for uniform cooking.
- Place the formed patties on a plate and cover them with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to help them firm up.
Cooking
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add a small amount of oil to the pan to prevent sticking.
- Place the chilled patties in the skillet. Cook for 5-6 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F.
Serving
- Serve the patties on buns with your favorite toppings such as lettuce, tomato, and cheese. Add condiments like mustard or ketchup to taste.
- Serve immediately with a side of fries or a salad for a balanced meal.
Storage
- Place any leftover patties in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat thoroughly before serving.
