Main Ingredients

1 pound ground chicken Use fresh or thawed. Dark and white meat blends work, but all white meat stays leaner.
1/2 cup breadcrumbs Regular or panko both work. Use panko for a lighter texture.
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese Freshly grated adds umami; pre-grated will do in a pinch.
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley Chop it fine; it brightens flavors.
1 clove garlic, minced Mince very small or grate to distribute flavor evenly.
1 large egg Binds the patties; add water or milk for a looser mix if desired.
to taste salt and pepper Season in stages.
as needed tablespoons oil for frying Use neutral oil with high smoke point.

Form the mixture into patties of your desired size.
Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat.

Cooking

Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.
