Ingredients

• 1 pound ground chicken
• 0.5 cup breadcrumbs
• 0.25 cup mayonnaise
• 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 large egg
• 2 stalks green onions, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, and egg. Mix well until evenly combined.

Step 2

Add the chopped green onions, parsley, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Stir to incorporate all the seasonings evenly.

Step 3

Using your hands or a scoop, form the mixture into 8 evenly sized patties, about 1/2 inch thick. Place the patties on a plate or baking sheet for easy access.

Step 4

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add the chicken cakes to the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.

Step 5

Cook the chicken cakes for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 6

Remove the chicken cakes from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Step 7

Serve warm with your choice of dipping sauce, salad, or alongside a side dish like roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
