Ingredients:
- 500g ground chicken
- 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup bread crumbs
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Olive oil for frying
Instructions:
- Prepare the Chicken Mixture:
- In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, Parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, egg, parsley, garlic, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well combined.
- Shape the Patties:
- Divide the chicken mixture into 6-8 equal portions. Take each portion, flatten it slightly in your hand, and place about a tablespoon of shredded mozzarella in the center. Fold the meat around the cheese, sealing it well to form a patty.
- Cook the Patties:
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a drizzle of olive oil. Place the patties in the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C).
- Serve:
- Allow the patties to rest for a few minutes, then serve hot. These patties pair beautifully with a fresh salad, a drizzle of your favorite sauce, or even in a burger bun!
