Instructions

1

Prepare the mixture

In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, beaten egg, chopped onion, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix until evenly combined.

Pro tip: Avoid overmixing to keep the patties tender.

2

Shape the patties

Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a patty about 1.5 cm (0.6 inches) thick.

Pro tip: Press a slight indentation in the center to prevent them from puffing.

3

Chill the patties

Place the patties on a plate and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This helps them hold their shape during cooking.

4

Preheat the pan

Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.

5

Cook the patties

Place the patties in the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes per side, or until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 74°C (165°F).

Pro tip: Use a meat thermometer to ensure doneness.

6

Rest and serve

Remove the patties from the pan and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.

Pro tip: Resting helps retain juices within the patties.
