Simple Savory Chicken Patties

Ingredients

• 2 small zucchini
• ½ small yellow onion
• 1 small sweet potato, peeled and cut lengthwise into quarters
• ½ cup fresh dill, chopped
• 1 large pasture-raised egg
• ¾ cup fine almond flour
• ¼ cup tahini or avocado oil
• ½ teaspoon Himalayan or sea salt
• ¼ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
• 1 pound, pasture-raised ground white chicken meat
• Avocado oil spray to grease baking sheets

Method

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425°F, if your oven has a convection option, use that. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and spray with avocado oil.

Step 2

Set up a food processor with the grater attachment, grate the zucchini, onion, and sweet potato, then change the attachment to the regular blade. Add the dill and pulse a couple of times, avoid overprocessing. Transfer the chopped veggies to a fine colander and allow to drain for 10 minutes.

Step 3

Add the egg, almond flour, tahini (or avocado oil if using), ground chicken, salt, and pepper to a large bowl along with the vegetables. Mix until well combined.

Step 4

Using an ice cream scoop, scoop the chicken mixture onto the baking sheets to make 24 patties. Press each scoop down using a spatula to flatten slightly (this will help them to cook more evenly). Transfer to the oven and bake for 25 minutes, flipping once halfway through.

Step 5

Serve with your choice of dipping sauce. Hummus, tahini, or tzatziki are some great options that pair perfectly with these chicken patties.
