Step 1: Prepare the Mixture
Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, shredded mozzarella, breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, parsley, beaten egg, minced garlic, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated. Avoid overmixing to keep the patties tender.
Form Patties: Divide the mixture into 6-8 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 1/2 inch thick. Make a small indentation in the center of each patty to help them cook evenly.
Step 2: Cook the Patties
Heat Oil: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Cook Patties: Carefully place the patties in the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 5-6 minutes on one side until golden brown.
Flip and Cook: Flip the patties and cook for an additional 5-6 minutes on the other side until fully cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C) and golden brown. You may need to work in batches depending on the size of your skillet.
Step 3: Serve
Rest and Serve: Once cooked, transfer the patties to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil. Let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Garnish and Enjoy: Serve the chicken patties with a sprinkle of fresh parsley and your choice of dipping sauce, or place them in a bun with lettuce, tomato, and your favorite condiments.
