Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, finely chopped rosemary, zesty lemon peel, breadcrumbs, beaten egg, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly for about 2-3 minutes.
  2. Divide the mixture into equal portions, about the size of a golf ball, and gently shape each into patties approximately 3 inches in diameter.
  3. Place a large skillet on medium heat and add about 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Heat for approximately 1-2 minutes.
  4. Carefully add the shaped patties to the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and fully cooked.
  5. Check that the internal temperature of each patty reaches at least 165°F (75°C) using a meat thermometer.
  6. Transfer the patties onto a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Let them rest for about 2 minutes.
  7. Serve the patties garnished with fresh rosemary sprigs and alongside lemon wedges.
