Ingredients
  

  • 1½ pounds ground chicken
  • ½ cup finely diced yellow onion
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 large egg

Method
 

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, onion, garlic, parsley, dill, oregano, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, egg, and breadcrumbs.
  2. Mix gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the patties tender.
  3. Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape into patties about ½ inch thick.
  4. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  5. Cook the patties for 5–6 minutes per side until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  6. Transfer the cooked patties to a plate and let them rest for 5 minutes.
  7. Serve warm with tzatziki, pita bread, salad, or your favorite Mediterranean sides.
