Ingredients (makes 8 patties)

• 16 oz skinless ground chicken (ask butcher to grind)
• 1 green onion, finely minced
• 1 egg white, well beaten
• 1 Tbsp olive oil or nonstick spray

• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp salt & black pepper
  

Mix chicken, green onion, egg white and spices together. Form into 8 small patties. Heat olive oil in nonstick skillet or use cooking spray. Gently add patties and press down slightly. Cook over medium heat until lightly browned. Flip and cook until reverse side is lightly browned and serve hot!

Freeze leftovers with a layer of waxed or parchment paper between to prevent sticking together. Reheat in the microwave for 20 seconds or til warmed through.

Tip: Use a small coffee grinder for spices, especially fennel seeds or peppercorns.
