Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground chicken
- 1 Apple (Granny Smith or Fuji, grated)
- 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
- 1 Egg
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 0.25 cup Onion (finely chopped)
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Olive oil (for cooking)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, grated apple, breadcrumbs, egg, minced garlic, chopped onion, parsley, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Using your hands, divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty approximately 3 inches wide and 1/2 inch thick.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the patties into the skillet, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Cook in batches if needed.
Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and fully cooked through. The internal temperature should read 165°F (74°C).
Remove the patties from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.
Serve the apple chicken patties warm on their own, or pair them with your favorite dipping sauce, buns, or a side salad.
