In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 pound of ground chicken, 1/2 cup of breadcrumbs, 1 small finely chopped onion, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 lightly beaten large egg, 2 tablespoons of finely chopped fresh parsley, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.
Mix the ingredients together thoroughly using your hands until well combined.
Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape each portion into patties of your desired size and thickness.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet or frying pan over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, carefully add the chicken patties to the skillet, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through, flipping them halfway through cooking.
To ensure the patties are cooked through, you can use a kitchen thermometer to check that the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Once cooked, transfer the chicken patties to a serving plate and serve immediately with your favorite sides or accompaniments.
Enjoy the juicy and flavorful homemade chicken patties hot, and savor every delicious bite!
