Main Ingredients
- 1 lb ground chicken
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh mint, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (for cooking)
- Prepare the mixture: In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken with minced garlic, chopped parsley, mint, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Form patties: Divide the chicken mixture into equal portions and shape each into a round, flat patty about 3 inches in diameter and 1/2 inch thick.
- Heat the pan: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering, ready for cooking the patties.
- Cook patties: Place the patties carefully into the hot skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until the outside is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C), ensuring they are cooked through.
- Serve: Remove patties from the skillet and let rest for a couple of minutes before serving. Enjoy them warm with your favorite Mediterranean sides.
Notes
- You can substitute ground chicken with ground turkey if preferred.
- For extra flavor, add a squeeze of lemon juice to the mixture.
- Serve with tzatziki sauce or a fresh salad for a complete Mediterranean meal.
- Ensure patties are cooked thoroughly to avoid any food safety issues with ground poultry.
