Yum
If your looking for easy weeknight meals that are fresh and healthy, look no further cause I've got a winner of a dish for you today!
It couldn't be easier than whipping up some chicken patties that are served along a nice fresh salad and some basmati rice. Garlicky, herby chicken patties; crispy on the outside and moist and tender on the inside, next to a fresh salad bursting with flavor make for one tasty dinner!
We're eating light and fresh around here, and this meal fits the bill! On the table in less than 30 minutes you can have a healthy start to your new year with this zesty tasting meal.
Ground chicken gives the dish a little change of pace and tastes wonderful with the addition of scallions, parsley, garlic, and a little kick from some spices. You can certainly make this with ground turkey if you prefer, buy why not give the chicken a try? Something new to add to your repertoire
of protein ingredients, plus it's super yummy!
I made these into small bite sized patties, but do what you want. Meatballs? sure...large chicken patties...perfect! Even make a little dipping sauce of sour cream or yogurt and some sriracha to go along side. Just be sure not to handle them too much to keep them tender.
The salad is really simple, and really fresh! Sometimes the best things are the simplest, don't you agree? Sliced cucumber, avocado, and tomato make it simple. Just douse it with a little lemon juice and your all set. Through in some rice like we did and dinner is served, all under 30 minutes!
Enjoy!
Garlic Herb Chicken Patties and a Fresh Salad
serves: 6
Patties:
1 lb ground chicken
1 tablespoon chopped scallion
1 teaspoon chopped parsley
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon chili pepper flakes
2 tablespoons fresh garlic, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon butter
Salad:
1 medium cucumber, sliced
1/2 avocado, diced
1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1 lemon
Combine all ingredients for the chicken patties, through the garlic, in a medium bowl and very gently mix until everything is evenly combined. Do not over mix or you will get a tough patties.
Heat 1 tablespoon oil and 1 teaspoon butter in a skillet over medium high heat and divide the chicken mixture into eight equal parts. Flatten gently to form the little chicken patties, about the size of a sausage patty. Place in the skillet and cook about 5 minutes per side, searing each side, and cooking until internal temperature reaches 160ºF. A good sear will ensure they are crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. Remove from the skillet and set aside on paper towels to drain.
Combine the cucumber, avocado, and tomatoes. Slice lemon in half. Slice one half into wedges and squeeze the other half over the vegetables. Serve alongside the patties and a lemon wedge.
