Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams ground chicken
- 1 medium-sized (grated) zucchini
- 1 medium-sized (grated) carrot
- 0.5 medium-sized (finely diced) onion
- 2 (minced) garlic cloves
- 1 large egg
- 100 grams breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons (for frying) olive oil
Instructions
Grate the zucchini and carrot using a box grater, then transfer them to a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out the excess moisture. This step is essential to prevent the patties from becoming too wet.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, grated zucchini, grated carrot, diced onion, minced garlic, egg, breadcrumbs, chopped parsley, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Mix all the ingredients together thoroughly using your hands or a large spoon until well combined.
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a round patty, approximately 1-1.5 cm thick.
Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Cook the patties in batches, about 4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and fully cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 74°C (165°F).
Remove the cooked patties from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to remove any excess oil.
Serve the chicken and vegetable burger patties on burger buns with your favorite toppings, such as lettuce, tomato, onion, and condiments. Alternatively, serve them on their own with a side salad for a low-carb option.
