Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, onion, garlic, egg, parsley, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and paprika. Mix gently until just combined.
Divide mixture into 6 equal portions and shape into patties about 3/4 inch thick.
Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add patties and cook 5–6 minutes per side until golden brown and fully cooked (internal temperature 165°F or 74°C).
Transfer to a plate and let rest a few minutes before serving.
Serve on buns, over salad, or with sides like roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.

Notes

Add shredded cheese to the mix for a cheesy version.

For spice, add chili powder or hot sauce.

Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15–18 minutes for a lighter option.

Use gluten-free breadcrumbs or almond flour for a gluten-free version.

Freeze cooked patties up to 2 months; reheat directly from frozen.
