Fresh rosemary and lemon zest make boring ground chicken into a tasty and delicious chicken patties. Perfect for a quick and easy weeknight dinner. These patties freeze well for a great prepare ahead dinner that’s ready in no time. Serve with roasted vegetables, couscous or salad. I served mine with Brussels sprouts and mashed potatoes.
Combine all the ingredients together in a large bowl with a fork. Divide into 6 patties. Coat the bottom of a skillet with oil and sear the patties for 5 -8 minutes on each side until a golden brown crust forms. The internal temperature of the patties should be 160°F.
You could also roll this mixture into appetizer size meatballs and serve with tzatziki sauce, warm pita bread, olives as part of a mezze platter. How delicious!
