Ingredients
Chicken Sausage Patties
- 1 pound chicken breasts (or 1 pound ground chicken)
- 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon ground sage
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Pinch of red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
Instructions
- Prepare ground chicken: Add the chicken breast to a food processor and blend until it resembles ground chicken. Alternatively, use pre-ground chicken.
- Mix seasoning: In a small bowl, combine the maple syrup, olive oil, salt, paprika, poultry seasoning, ground sage, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes.
- Combine ingredients: Add the seasoning mixture to the ground chicken and pulse in the food processor again to evenly incorporate all the flavors.
- Form patties: Divide the mixture into 12 equal-sized balls and place them on a large plate.
- Preheat pan: Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat and lightly grease it with cooking spray or a bit of oil.
- Cook patties: Add 6 balls to the pan at a time, pressing them down with wet fingers to form thin patties. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Repeat and serve: Repeat the cooking process with the remaining patties. Serve warm, or store in the fridge or freezer for later use.
Notes
- Wetting your fingers before shaping the patties helps prevent sticking.
- You can adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to control the spiciness.
- Ensure patties are cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for safety.
- Maple syrup adds a subtle sweetness balancing the spices nicely.
- These patties freeze well; reheat thoroughly before eating.
