Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 500g ground chicken
- 1 small onion, finely grated
- 1 small carrot, grated
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (use gluten-free for Gluten-Free option)
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
For Cooking
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (for frying)
Instructions
- Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, grated onion, grated carrot, minced garlic, chopped parsley, breadcrumbs, egg, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly using clean hands or a spoon until everything is well incorporated.
- Shape Patties: Shape the mixture into 8 to 10 small patties, ensuring they are evenly sized for consistent cooking.
- Heat Oil: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat to prepare for frying.
- Cook Rissoles: Add the rissoles to the skillet in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook each side for 4 to 5 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and are cooked through.
- Drain Excess Oil: Remove the cooked rissoles from the skillet and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.
- Serve: Serve the chicken rissoles hot, ideally with mashed potatoes, fresh salad, or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
Notes
- For a lighter version, bake the rissoles at 400°F (200°C) for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- You can add grated zucchini or corn to the mixture to include extra vegetables and nutrition.
- Use gluten-free breadcrumbs to make this recipe suitable for a gluten-free diet.
- Ensure patties are cooked thoroughly to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption.
