Ingredients
Scale
Meat:
- 1 pound ground chicken
Binders and Fillers:
- ½ cup breadcrumbs
- 1 egg
- ¼ cup milk
Seasonings and Aromatics:
- 1 tablespoon minced onion
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- Salt
- Pepper
- Olive oil
Optional Additions:
- Grated Parmesan cheese
- Chopped bell peppers
- Dash of paprika
Instructions
- Grab a spacious mixing bowl and combine 1 pound ground chicken, ½ cup breadcrumbs, 1 egg, ¼ cup milk, 1 tablespoon minced onion, 1 clove minced garlic, 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Blend ingredients gently until just incorporated, being careful not to overwork the mixture.
- Divide the chicken blend into 4-5 equal portions. Shape each portion into a flat oval patty approximately ½ inch thick. Dampen your hands with water to prevent sticking if needed.
- Warm 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat (350°F). Place patties in the pan, ensuring they do not touch each other. Cook for 5-6 minutes on the first side until a golden-brown crust develops.
- Flip the patties carefully and continue cooking an additional 4-5 minutes. Verify the internal temperature reaches 165°F using a meat thermometer to confirm thorough cooking.
- Remove cooked patties from the skillet and let them rest on a clean plate. Keep warm while preparing optional sauce or side dishes.
- In the same skillet, sauté sliced mushrooms and onions for 3-4 minutes until they turn soft and slightly caramelized. Add ½ cup beef broth and create a quick pan sauce if desired.
Notes
- Work gently when mixing the ground chicken to keep the patties tender and prevent them from becoming tough.
- Wet hands slightly with water when forming patties to prevent the mixture from sticking to your fingers.
- Check the internal temperature with a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches a safe 165°F without overcooking.
- For a lighter version, replace breadcrumbs with almond flour and serve over roasted vegetables instead of traditional sides.
