Delicious Homemade Chicken Patties: A Flavorful and Versatile Dish
1. Prepare the Mixture:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese (if using), onion, garlic, parsley, and any optional add-ins like shredded vegetables or peppers.
Add the egg, Dijon mustard, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to the mixture. Use your hands or a spatula to mix everything together until well combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the patties tough.
2. Shape the Patties:
Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape them into patties. You can make them as large or small as you like, but typically, patties are about 1/2 inch thick and 3-4 inches in diameter.
3. Cook the Patties:
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the patties, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.
Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and fully cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C) to ensure they are safe to eat.
If you’re cooking a large batch, you can keep the cooked patties warm in an oven set to low heat while you finish the rest.
4. Serve:
Serve the chicken patties immediately while they are hot and juicy. They can be served on their own with a side of vegetables, as part of a burger with buns and your favorite toppings, or alongside a salad for a lighter option.
