Ingredients
Scale
Chicken Mixture
- 1 lb ground chicken
- ½ cup cottage cheese
- 1 large egg
- ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- ¼ tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp chopped parsley (optional)
For Cooking
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Mix the Chicken Mixture: In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, cottage cheese, egg, panko breadcrumbs, minced garlic, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and chopped parsley, if using. Stir the ingredients gently until just combined to avoid overworking the mixture and to keep the patties tender.
- Shape Into Patties: Use your hands or a scoop to divide the mixture into small patties, approximately 2 tablespoons each in size. Flatten each patty slightly to ensure even cooking and form uniform shapes for consistent results.
- Cook the Patties: Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place the patties in a single layer, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes on each side until the patties are golden brown and cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Serve: Serve the patties hot with your favorite dipping sauce, or add them atop a fresh salad, grain bowl, or inside a wrap for a versatile and tasty meal option.
Notes
- For even cooking, avoid making the patties too thick.
- You can substitute panko breadcrumbs with gluten-free breadcrumbs to make this recipe gluten-free.
- Ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F to guarantee chicken is safely cooked.
- Parsley is optional but adds a fresh flavor and color.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
