Spicy chicken patties

INGREDIENTS

1 lb. lean ground chicken

1 medium zucchini, grated and squeezed well of excess moisture

1 clove garlic, minced

3/4 teaspoon kosher salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 teaspoon onion powder

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1 1/2 tablespoons canola oil or coconut oil

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Combine all ingredients (except oil) and stir until just combined. The mixture will be wet.

2. Form into small patties, about 1 1/2 inches wide, and place on a plate. It should be about 1/4 cup of the mixture for each patty.

3. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

4. Add patties, working in batches if necessary, and cook over medium-high heat for 5-6 minutes, then flip and finish cooking, another 4-5 minutes, until chicken is cooked through. Add extra oil or turn down heat if they are cooking too quickly or if you are doing more than 1 batch.

5. Serve and enjoy!
