Ingredients:
1 lb ground chicken (93% lean)
1/4 cup whole wheat breadcrumbs (or almond flour for fewer points)
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/4 cup onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (or 1 tsp dried parsley)
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp salt (optional)
1/4 tsp black pepper
Cooking spray (olive oil or avocado oil)
Directions:
Prepare the Mixture:
In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, breadcrumbs (or almond flour), egg, onion, garlic, parsley, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Mix everything together until well combined. Make sure not to overmix, as it can make the patties tough.
Form the Patties:
Divide the mixture into 6 equal portions and shape them into patties about 1/2-inch thick.
Cook the Patties:
Heat a non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium heat and spray lightly with cooking spray.
Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C).
Serve and Enjoy:
Serve the chicken patties on their own or in a low-calorie bun or lettuce wrap for a low-point meal.
