Ingredients

Chicken Patties

1 lb ground chicken
2 cloves garlic peeled and minced
½ teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon lemon juice
¼ teaspoon lemon zest
½ teaspoons black pepper
2 tablespoon olive oil

Dipping Sauce

¼ cup Greek yogurt or mayo
1-2 teaspoons lemon juice
⅛ teaspoon garlic powder
⅛ teaspoon onion powder
⅛ teaspoons salt
⅛ teaspoon cayenne optional, for a spicy dip

Instructions

Make the dip by adding all dip ingredients together in a small bowl. Cover the bowl and set in the refrigerator you're ready to use it.
¼ cup Greek yogurt, 1-2 teaspoons lemon juice, ⅛ teaspoon garlic powder, ⅛ teaspoon onion powder, ⅛ teaspoons salt, ⅛ teaspoon cayenne
For the chicken patties, add all ingredients except the olive oil to a mixing bowl. Use your clean hands or a spoon to combine the ingredients together.
1 lb ground chicken, 2 cloves garlic, ½ teaspoon sea salt, 1 teaspoon lemon juice, ¼ teaspoon lemon zest, ½ teaspoons black pepper, 2 tablespoon olive oil
Form the chicken mixture into 3-inch patties (there should be enough chicken mixture to make 8-10 patties).
Add the oil to a medium sized skillet over medium-high heat.
When oil begins to shimmer, carefully add chicken patties to the hot oil, leaving a little space between each. *Depending on the size of your pan, you may need to cook the patties in batches.
Fry for 4 minutes on the first side, then use a spatula to flip each patty over. Continue cooking for another 3-4 minutes, or until patties cook through and reach an internal temperature of 165℉.
Use the spatula to carefully transfer them from the pan to a serving platter. *If they seem greasy, you can drain them on paper towels first.
Drizzle with dip (if desired) and serve while warm.
