Ingredients

Chicken Patties:

500 g (1.1 lb) chicken mince/ground chicken
1 clove garlic - minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
2 tablespoon flat-leaf parsley - finely chopped See Note 1
¼ cup (25 g) panko breadcrumbs
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper - to taste See Note 2

Coating and Cooking:

¼ cup (40 g) plain/all-purpose flour
2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil See Note 3 and 4

Instructions

Add the chicken, garlic, dried oregano, parsley, breadcrumbs, salt and pepper to a medium bowl, and mix well to combine.
Put the flour on a large plate.
Divide the chicken mixture into eight, and carefully shape into patties about 1 ½ cm (just over ½ inch) thick.
Gently coat both sides in the flour, shaking off any excess.
Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat, and gently add the patties.
To avoid crowding the pan, and to make it easier to turn them, I cook four at a time.
Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove from the frying pan, put on a plate and cover with foil to keep them warm while you cook the rest.
Add another 2 tablespoons of oil to the frying pan if necessary and cook the remaining 4 patties.

Notes

I have used parsley, but you could substitute it with a teaspoon of finely chopped rosemary or thyme.
Ensure that the patties are well seasoned to your liking - I like to take a small amount of mixture and cook to test the seasoning before rolling into patties.
In Australia, the tablespoon is 20 ml or 4 teaspoons. In many other countries, the tablespoon is 15 ml or 3 teaspoons. Please adjust your measurement if necessary.
Add more olive oil if necessary to cook the second batch of Patties.
