Ingredients
  

1 lb ground chicken

1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko for extra crispiness)

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/4 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped

1/4 cup green onions, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 large egg

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

Olive oil for frying

Instructions
 

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, green onions, garlic, egg, oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.

    Using your hands, form the mixture into small patties, about 2-3 inches in diameter. This should yield approximately 10 patties, depending on size.

      Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add enough olive oil to coat the bottom of the pan.

        Once the oil is hot, carefully place the patties in the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. You may need to fry them in batches.

          Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. An internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) ensures they are safe to eat.

            Once cooked, transfer the patties to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.

              Serve warm with a side of yogurt or tzatziki sauce for dipping, if desired.

                  - Presentation Tips: Arrange the chicken patties on a serving platter, garnished with a sprinkle of fresh parsley and accompanied by lemon wedges for a zesty touch.
