Ingredients
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 1 cup fresh spinach finely chopped
- ½ cup feta cheese crumbled
- 1 small onion grated
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 large egg
- ½ cup breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon olive oil plus extra for cooking
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes optional
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine 1 pound of ground chicken, 1 cup of chopped spinach, ½ cup of feta, 1 grated onion, 2 cloves of garlic, 1 egg, ½ cup of breadcrumbs, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, ½ teaspoon of oregano, ½ teaspoon of salt, ¼ teaspoon of black pepper, and ¼ teaspoon of red pepper flakes. Mix gently until just combined.
- Scoop and shape the mixture into 8 small patties.
- Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the patties and cook for 5 to 6 minutes per side until golden and cooked through.
- Enjoy with lemon wedges, a simple salad, tucked in a pita, or over rice.
Notes
- Mix the chicken gently. Overmixing can make the patties dense instead of tender.
- Grated onion keeps the patties moist without adding chunks.
- Finely chop the spinach so the patties hold together and cook evenly.
- Feta adds salt and flavor, so taste before adding extra seasoning.
- Cook over medium heat to get a golden crust without drying out the patties.
- Patties can be made ahead, stored in the fridge, or frozen for later use.
- Nutritional information is for one chicken patty.
