Ingredients

• 500 grams Ground chicken
• 50 grams Gluten-free breadcrumbs
• 1 large Egg
• 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground coriander
• 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper (optional)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, gluten-free breadcrumbs, egg, chopped onion, parsley, and minced garlic.

Step 2

Season the mixture with salt, black pepper, ground cumin, ground coriander, and cayenne pepper if using.

Step 3

Mix the ingredients thoroughly until everything is well incorporated. This may take a few minutes to ensure even distribution of spices.

Step 4

Divide the mixture into 8 equal parts and shape them into patties using your hands.

Step 5

Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Step 6

Cook the patties in batches. Place the patties in the skillet, ensuring there is enough space between them. If the pan is too small, cook in batches to avoid crowding.

Step 7

Cook each patty for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through, ensuring the internal temperature reaches 75°C (165°F).

Step 8

Remove the patties from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

Step 9

Serve warm with your choice of sides or in a gluten-free bun for a delicious sandwich.
