Step-by-Step Instructions for Mediterranean Chicken Patties
  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until it becomes translucent and slightly golden. Then, add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sautéed onion and garlic with chopped spinach, ground chicken, breadcrumbs, Greek yogurt, fresh dill, lemon juice, dried oregano, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix the ingredients thoroughly.
  3. Divide the mixture into eight equal portions and shape each into a patty about ½ inch thick.
  4. In the same skillet, heat another tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Carefully place the patties in the skillet and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
  5. Once cooked, remove the patties and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Allow them to cool slightly before serving.
