Crispy & Juicy Chicken Patties 🍗
Creating these easy, healthy, and incredibly juicy chicken patties is a breeze!
Equipment
- Large Bowl
- Nonstick Skillet
Ingredients
- 1 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup Wholesome Yum Blanched Almond Flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Onion powder
- 3/4 teaspoon Sea salt (or 1/2 teaspoon if you prefer less salt)
- 1/4 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil divided (plus extra as needed for cooking)
- 2 pounds Ground chicken (93% lean recommended for best juiciness)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, almond flour, eggs, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper. Stir in 1 tablespoon of olive oil until well combined.
- Gently fold in the ground chicken. Mix just enough to incorporate all the ingredients without overworking the meat, which keeps the patties tender.
- Divide the mixture into 16 equal portions and shape each into a small patty, approximately 3/8 inch thick. For super easy transfer to the pan, place them on parchment paper and cut the paper around each patty.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat for about 2 minutes, until it shimmers. Carefully place the chicken patties into the hot skillet in a single layer. If using parchment, simply flip the patty onto the pan and peel off the paper.
- Cook each patty for 3-4 minutes per side until they're beautifully golden brown and cooked through.
- Repeat with any remaining chicken mixture, adding more olive oil to the pan if needed to ensure a nice sear.
- Let the cooked patties rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. This brief rest helps lock in their delicious juices!
