Ingredients

  • 1.5 pounds ground chicken* see notes
  • 1 1/4 cup breadcrumbs unseasoned
  • 1 cup parmesan grated
  • 1 large egg beaten
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  • Combine 3/4 cups of breadcrumbs and 1/2 cup of grated parmesan in a shallow, wide bowl and mix. Set aside.
  • Combine remaining breadcrumbs, parmesan, seasonings, and the beaten egg in a large bowl with the ground chicken.
  • Fold gently until the breadcrumbs and cheese are evenly distributed.
  • Chill for 20 minutes.
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F and heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  • Lightly oil your hands and begin forming 4 ounce, or 1/4 lb patties, about 1 inch thick.
  • Press the patty into the breadcrumb parmesan mixture, then flip, and repeat until thoroughly coated. Repeat until all the patties are formed.
  • Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes per side in the hot oil. Don't overcrowd the pan. Instead cook in batches and transfer golden brown patties to a baking sheet while you finish the remaining ones.
  • When all of the patties have been crisped in the pan, transfer the baking sheet to the oven. Bake for 6-8 minutes or until a thermometer reads 165°F.
  • Serve immediately or let cool completely. Freeze flat on a cool baking sheet for 1-2 hours, then transfer to a freezer safe bag for up to 3 months.*

Notes

*The ground chicken at my grocery store is always in 1.5 lb packages. If you have just 1 lb, then reduce the breadcrumbs added to the meat to 1/2 cup. Beat the egg before adding it in, and add most, but not all, of it.
*to reheat from frozen place them on a baking sheet in a 400°F oven for 10-15 minutes, flipping once.
