Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground chicken
- 0.25 cup almond flour
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 0.5 tsp smoked paprika
- 0.25 tsp cayenne pepper
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp green onions, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 egg
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, almond flour, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, pepper, chopped green onions, and parsley.
In a small bowl, beat the egg lightly and add it to the chicken mixture. Mix everything together thoroughly using your hands or a wooden spoon until well combined.
Form the mixture into 8 small, evenly-sized patties, about 2-3 inches in diameter.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the chicken patties to the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook in batches if necessary.
Cook the patties for about 5-6 minutes on each side or until fully cooked through and golden brown on the outside.
Remove the patties from the skillet and let them rest on a paper towel-lined plate for a couple of minutes before serving.
Serve the mini chicken burgers wrapped in lettuce leaves or on a plate with a side of compliant veggies of your choice.
