Ingredients
- 500 g Ground chicken
- 400 g Canned chickpeas (drained and rinsed)
- 60 g Breadcrumbs
- 1 large Egg
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 30 g Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1 tsp Cumin powder
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Olive oil (for frying)
Directions
Step 1
In a large bowl, mash the chickpeas using a fork or potato masher until a coarse texture is achieved. It's fine if some whole chickpeas remain for added texture.
Step 2
Add the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, egg, minced garlic, parsley, cumin powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the bowl with the mashed chickpeas. Mix thoroughly until all the ingredients are evenly combined.
Step 3
Using your hands, form the mixture into patties about 8 cm (3 inches) in diameter and 1.5 cm (0.6 inches) thick. This recipe should yield about 12 patties.
Step 4
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, place 4–6 patties in the skillet, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
Step 5
Cook the patties for 4–5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and fully cooked through (the internal temperature should reach 74°C or 165°F).
Step 6
Transfer the cooked patties to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil. Repeat with the remaining patties, adding additional olive oil to the skillet if necessary.
Step 7
Serve the chicken and chickpea patties warm with a side of salad, yogurt sauce, or in a sandwich. Enjoy!
