  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 500g ground chicken
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce (optional for savory flavor)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 tsp paprika or smoked paprika
  • Olive oil or cooking spray for frying
  • Optional: fresh herbs like parsley or coriander for extra flavor

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, chopped onion, minced garlic, breadcrumbs, and egg. Add soy sauce, salt, pepper, and paprika for flavor. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
  2. Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape each into burger-like patties, ensuring they are compact.
  3. Heat a generous amount of olive oil or spray a skillet with cooking spray over medium heat. Place the rissoles in the hot pan.
  4. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through, avoiding overcrowding the pan.

Notes

  • Use panko breadcrumbs for extra crispiness.
  • To make healthier, bake or air fry instead of frying.
  • Add grated cheese into the mixture for a cheesy flavor.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 1 month. Reheat in oven or air fryer for best crispiness.
