📝 Ingredients
Serves 4🥬Fresh Produce(5)
- 1 small carrot
- 2 tablespoons onion (30 ml)
- 1 boiled potato in puree
- garlic powder, salt and pepper
- 1 small zucchini
🥩Meat & Seafood(1)
- 1 ground chicken breast (use food processor)
👨🍳 Instructions

- 2
Form into patties with a little oil on your hands.
- 3
Cook on low heat covered for 10 minutes on each side.
💡 Pro Tips
- ✓Keep ground chicken mixture at 35-38°F while forming patties because chicken fat melts at 86°F (much lower than beef at 130°F), preventing the patties from holding together during cooking.technique35-38°F mixture temp
- ✓Create a shallow dimple in the center of each patty (about 1/4 inch deep) because chicken shrinks 25-30% during cooking and will dome up without this indentation.technique1/4 inch dimple depth
- ✓Cook at exactly 275-300°F surface temperature to ensure the interior reaches 165°F food safety requirement without overcooking the exterior, since chicken has no marbling to keep it moist.timing275-300°F surface temp
- ✓Add 15-20% finely grated vegetables by weight to the chicken mixture because they release moisture during cooking, compensating for chicken's naturally low fat content of only 3-5%.ingredient15-20% vegetable ratio
- ✓Oil your hands with neutral oil at room temperature rather than cold oil because room temperature oil creates a better barrier against the sticky chicken proteins without solidifying on contact.technique
