Chicken Patties with Carrot and Garlic

These juicy chicken patties are a weeknight hero: lean, high-protein, and packed with sweet carrot and savory garlic. Golden on the outside and tender inside, they come together with minimal effort and pair beautifully with mashed potatoes, rice, or a fresh salad.

Ingredients

• 400 g (14 oz) chicken fillet
• 150 g (5.3 oz) carrot
• 3 garlic cloves
• 1 onion
• 1 egg
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• Oil for frying

How to make it

1. Grind the chicken fillet, onion, carrot, and garlic through a meat grinder.
2. Season with salt and pepper; add the egg.
3. Mix well and shape into patties.
4. Fry 7 minutes per side until golden and cooked through.

Tips

• Wet your hands before shaping — the mixture is soft, and damp hands keep the patties smooth and even.
• Do not overcrowd the pan; fry in batches so each patty gets a proper golden crust.
• Let the patties rest for a couple of minutes after frying so the juices redistribute and stay inside.
