Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground chicken

- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and add olive oil.
- In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, grated zucchini, mozzarella cheese, parmesan cheese, eggs, flour, parsley, garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Lightly coat the pan with olive oil and allow it to heat evenly.
- Scoop portions of the mixture and shape them into small patties.
