In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, egg, oatmeal, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, parsley, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Mix well with your hands or a spoon until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Divide the mixture into 12 equal portions and shape them into small patties about 2 to 3 inches in diameter.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the chicken patties to the skillet, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. You may need to cook them in batches.
Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165Β°F (74Β°C).
Remove the cooked patties from the skillet and let them rest on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
To assemble the burgers, place a lettuce leaf and a slice of tomato on the bottom half of each mini burger bun.
Place a chicken patty on top of the tomato, followed by a cheese slice.
Cover with the top half of the bun.
Serve immediately, and enjoy your high protein mini chicken burgers!
