Easy Breakfast Chicken Patties

Ingredients

• 2 lb ground chicken
• 1.5 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1 tbsp salt (or to taste)
• 1.5 tsp garam masala
• 1 tsp chili flakes
• 1 tbsp coriander seeds (Dry-roast with the cumin seeds and ajwain, then grind.)
• 1 tsp cumin seeds (Dry-roast with the coriander seeds and ajwain, then grind.)
• 0.5 tsp ajwain (Dry-roast with the coriander seeds and cumin seeds, then grind.)
• 2 tbsp cilantro (Chopped.)
• 2 tbsp spring onions (Chopped.)
• 1 cup mozzarella cheese (Shredded.)
• oil spray (For the pan; brand is optional.)

Steps

1. 1

   Dry-roast the coriander seeds, cumin seeds, and ajwain, then grind them together.

2. 2

   In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, garlic powder, paprika, salt, garam masala, chili flakes, ground roasted spices, cilantro, spring onions, and shredded mozzarella.

3. 3

   Heat a frying pan and spray it lightly with oil. Fry a small piece of the mixture to check whether the seasoning is balanced. Taste it and adjust the seasoning if needed.

4. 4

   Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a sheet pan with foil and lightly coat the foil with oil spray.

5. 5

   Spread the chicken mixture evenly over the prepared pan, making it as thin or thick as you prefer. Press indentations into the surface as you would for a kebab.

6. 6

   Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 13 minutes.

7. 7

   Remove the pan from the oven and pour off any excess liquid. Return it to the oven and broil on high for 3–4 minutes.

8. 8

   Cover and let the cooked mixture rest for 10 minutes, then cut it into squares.

9. 9

   For storage, place the squares in a container lined with paper towel, or freeze them. Serve on their own or use them in a breakfast sandwich.

Notes

The description says to bake for 13 minutes; the transcript instead says about 20 minutes. The extracted method follows the written description. The covering material is unclear in the source; the method says only to cover for 10 minutes. The transcript also mentions optional mustard and that ground beef may be used with more cooking time, but neither is included in the written ingredient list.
