Ingredients

Chicken Patty Mixture

450 g (1 lb) boneless chicken breast, finely minced
1 cup mixed vegetables (carrot, corn, peas), finely chopped
½ cup breadcrumbs (or oat flour)
1 large egg
2 tbsp onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp fresh parsley or green onions, chopped
1 tsp paprika
½ tsp black pepper
¾ tsp salt (adjust to taste)
½ tsp dried oregano or Italian seasoning

For Cooking

2–3 tbsp olive oil or cooking oil

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Patty Mixture

Add minced chicken breast, chopped vegetables, breadcrumbs, egg, onion, garlic, parsley, paprika, black pepper, salt, and oregano into a large mixing bowl.

Mix everything together using a spoon or clean hands until all ingredients are evenly combined and the mixture becomes slightly sticky.

Step 2: Shape the Patties

Take a portion of the chicken mixture and shape it into round, flat patties.

Place the shaped patties on a plate lined with parchment paper.

Step 3: Chill the Patties

Cover and refrigerate the patties for 15–20 minutes.

This step helps the patties hold their shape better while cooking and makes them easier to handle.

Step 4: Cook the Chicken Patties

Heat oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat.

Place the patties in the pan and cook for about 4–5 minutes on each side until golden brown and fully cooked.

The internal temperature of chicken should reach 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption.

Step 5: Serve

Serve these tasty chicken patties warm with your favorite dipping sauce, fresh salad, roasted vegetables, or inside burgers and wraps.

They are perfect for meal prep and can be enjoyed throughout the week.
