Instructions
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.
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.
Chill the patties
Place the patties on a plate and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This helps them hold their shape during cooking.
Preheat the pan
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
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.
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.
