Ingredients

Scale

For the Patties

  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 1/4 cup fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons lemon zest
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

For Cooking & Serving

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (for cooking)
  • Lemon wedges (for serving)
  • Fresh rosemary sprigs (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, chopped rosemary, lemon zest, breadcrumbs, egg, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated and form a consistent mixture.
  2. Form Patties: Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape each into a patty about 3 inches in diameter, ensuring they are compact to hold together while cooking.
  3. Heat Oil: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat until shimmering to ensure a good sear on the patties.
  4. Cook Patties: Carefully place the patties into the hot skillet. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown, developing a flavorful crust and cooked through.
  5. Check Doneness: Use a meat thermometer to verify the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C), ensuring the chicken is fully cooked and safe to eat.
  6. Drain Excess Oil: Transfer the cooked patties to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any extra oil and keep the patties from becoming greasy.
  7. Serve: Garnish the patties with fresh rosemary sprigs and serve with lemon wedges for an added burst of fresh citrus flavor that complements the herbs.

Notes

  • Feel free to substitute ground chicken with ground turkey for a slightly different flavor.
  • Use fresh rosemary for the best aroma and taste—dried herbs can alter the flavor balance.
  • Breadcrumbs help bind the patties; panko can be used for a lighter texture.
  • Adjust seasoning with additional salt or lemon zest according to taste preference.
  • Serve with a side salad or steamed vegetables for a complete low-carb meal.
  • Leftover patties can be refrigerated for up to 2 days or frozen for up to 1 month.
