Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 0.5 cup almond flour
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, almond flour, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, chopped fresh parsley, salt, and black pepper.
Mix the ingredients thoroughly using a wooden spoon or your hands until fully combined, being careful not to overmix.
Using slightly wet hands, shape the chicken mixture into small patties, approximately 2 inches in diameter.
In a large skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium-high heat.
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 on the outside and cooked through with an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Transfer the cooked patties to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve the mini chicken burgers warm, topped with your choice of Paleo-friendly condiments and lettuce wraps, if desired.
