Ingredients
- 500 g Ground chicken breast
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tsp Onion powder
- 1 tsp Smoked paprika
- 2 tsp Italian seasoning
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tsp Fennel seeds
- 0.5 tsp Red pepper flakes
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, minced garlic, onion powder, smoked paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, fennel seeds, red pepper flakes, and parsley.
Step 2
Mix the ingredients gently but thoroughly until evenly combined. Do not overmix, as this can make the sausages tough.
Step 3
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a small patty or cylindrical sausage shape, depending on your preference.
Step 4
Heat the olive oil in a large, non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Step 5
Once the oil is hot, place the sausages or patties in the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until golden brown and fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C).
Step 6
Remove the sausages from the skillet and let them rest on a plate lined with a paper towel for 2 minutes before serving.
Step 7
Serve immediately as part of a hearty breakfast, in a sandwich, or alongside your favorite vegetables for a guilt-free meal.
