Chicken Patties Recipe: Thai Chicken Patties ( Paleo & Clean Eating) (2)

Chicken patties can sometimes be on the dry sidebut these healthy paleo chicken burger patties are definitely not. To make sure they stay super moist, I used a secret ingredient in my chicken patties recipe thatno onewill be able to spot unless you tell them.

Please welcome the camouflage's master...zucchini! Adding grated zucchini to the ground chicken mix will not only help the paleo burger patties to stay moist, it's also a very easy way to include more veggies in your diet without you or your kids even noticing.

When making this chicken patties recipe, I grated the zucchini very finely, using the smallest holes of my box grater, which made them almost undetectable in the fried patty.

You'll see that the meat mixture is very wet so you'll need to use wet hands to form the paleo chicken patties. However, they'll hold perfectly well when cooking. You can eat these healthy chicken patties warm or cold, as part of a healthy chicken burger or plain without the bun for a low carb paleo dinner.

  2. Use your wet hands to form 2 to 2.5 inch wide patties (you'll get about 8). The mixture will be quite runny but the patties hold together very well when cooking, no worries!

  4. Flip patties and cook for another 5 minutes. You want to cook them gently, so they are brown on the outside and cooked all the way through on the inside.

      Oh that's exciting! You might want to make smaller patties if you're planning on making finger food (and adjust cooking time too!). I hope your guest will love them!

    This is another must-try recipe for me. Plus you've given me a technique (wet hands) for handling the turkey burgers and turkey meatloaf I make, for which I thank you. Looking forward to trying these chicken patties.

    Can't wait to make these! I can't eat eggs, think they'll hold together okay without? Also, do you think other ground meats would work the same? Beef, pork, turkey? Thank you!!

      Hey Amy! Yes, you should be fine without eggs 🙂 I like to use chicken for this recipe because it doesn't have a strong flavor and lets the other ingredients shine but I reckon it should work with other meats as well. It might just be a little less "fresh" tasting than chicken, that's all. Hope you'll like them!

    If I was to make these into meatballs, what would you recommend for cook time? 🙂

    • Marie

      It's hard to tell without testing myself and because it really depends on the size of the meatballs. If they're pretty small, I would say between 10 to 15 minutes - make sure they're thoroughly cooked in the center! Hope this helps 🙂

    I love the addition of shredded zucchini to make these juicier and sneak in some veggies!
