Broccoli and mozzarella patties

These baked broccoli and mozzarella patties are a healthy and delicious option for a light meal or snack.

Ingredients:

for 16 patties

• 500g ground chicken
• 1 egg
• 1 1/2 cups broccoli (cut into small pieces)
• 1 1/2 cups grated mozzarella
• 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Olive oil for greasing

1. Start by preparing the broccoli. Wash it and cut it into small pieces. You can boil it in salted water for a few minutes or steam it until it becomes tender. Then, drain it and let it cool.
2. In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, beaten egg, whole wheat flour, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well until the ingredients are combined.
3. Add the broccoli pieces and grated mozzarella to the meat mixture and mix until well incorporated.
4. Form small balls from the meat mixture and flatten them to create the patties.
5. Preheat the oven to 190°C and prepare a baking sheet, greasing the surface with olive oil.
6. Place the patties on the baking sheet, leaving a little space between them.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 25-30 minutes, or until the patties are golden brown and cooked through. Check with a food thermometer to ensure they have reached an internal temperature of 74°C.
8. Once cooked, remove the patties from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
