Chicken Patties
- 1 lb ground chicken
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh mint, chopped
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for cooking)
- Prepare the Patty Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken with minced garlic, parsley, mint, oregano, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until the herbs and spices are evenly distributed throughout the meat.
- Form Patties: Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape each portion into a round, flat patty about 3 inches in diameter and 1/2 inch thick.
- Heat the Pan: Add olive oil to a skillet or non-stick pan and heat over medium heat until shimmering, ensuring the patties will cook evenly without sticking.
- Cook Patties: Place the patties in the hot pan and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side or until they develop a golden-brown crust and are cooked through with an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Rest and Serve: Remove the patties from the pan and let them rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute, ensuring juicy and flavorful patties.
Notes
- Use fresh herbs for the best flavor, but dried herbs can be substituted if needed.
- If the mixture feels too wet to form patties, add a small amount of breadcrumbs or flour to bind.
- Serve with a side of tzatziki sauce or a fresh Mediterranean salad for a complete meal.
- These patties can also be grilled for an authentic smoky flavor.
