Ingredients

Scale

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)

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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).
  5. 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.
