Ingredients

Scale

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)

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Heat the pan: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering, ready for cooking the patties.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
