These juicy chicken patties with a gooey mozzarella center are perfect for a quick dinner or meal prep. They’re easy to make, flavorful, and sure to impress!
Ingredients
•1 lb (450g) ground chicken
•1/2 cup breadcrumbs (panko or regular)
•1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
•1 large egg
•2 garlic cloves, minced
•1 tsp onion powder
•1 tsp paprika
•1/2 tsp salt (or to taste)
•1/2 tsp black pepper
•1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped (or 1 tsp dried parsley)
•4 oz (115g) mozzarella cheese, cut into small cubes
•2 tbsp olive oil (for frying)
Instructions
1.Prepare the Chicken Mixture:
In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, egg, garlic, onion powder, paprika, salt, pepper, and parsley. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
2.Shape the Patties:
Take a small portion of the chicken mixture (about 2-3 tablespoons) and flatten it in your hand. Place a cube of mozzarella in the center, then fold the mixture around it to form a ball. Flatten slightly into a patty shape. Repeat with the remaining mixture and cheese.
3.Cook the Patties:
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the patties to the skillet, ensuring they’re not overcrowded. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C).
4.Serve:
Serve the patties warm with a side of salad, pasta, or a dipping sauce like marinara. Enjoy the gooey mozzarella surprise in every bite!
Tips:
•Use fresh mozzarella for a creamier texture.
•If baking, preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
•Double the recipe and freeze uncooked patties for a quick meal option later!
