Mediterranean-Inspired Chicken Patties (with Red Pepper & Parsley)

Mediterranean-Inspired Chicken Patties (with Red Pepper & Parsley)

This recipe is simple to prepare and sure to become a new household favourite! These chicken patties are juicy, flavour-packed and bring a fresh Mediterranean vibe to your table — perfect for BBQs, picnics, or a satisfying weeknight dinner.

I went with a Greek-style burger today, stacked with fresh tomato slices and a generous dollop of homemade tzatziki.

But don’t stop there — these patties are incredibly versatile. Serve them alongside a crisp salad for a lighter meal, or shape them into kebabs and tuck them into warm Greek pitta with your favourite toppings.

Oven-baked or BBQ’d, they turn out delicious every time!

Ingredients

  • 1kg chicken mince

  • 1 medium red bell pepper (or half a large one), chopped for blending

  • 1 brown onion, chopped for blending

  • 1 tablespoon white wine

  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

  • 30g fresh parsley, finely chopped (remove thick stalks)

  • 6 tablespoons breadcrumbs (you can simply blitz some sourdough bread in a blender)

  • 1 egg yolk

  • sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  • Add the chopped red pepper, brown onion, white wine and extra virgin olive oil to a blender. Blend until smooth.

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the chicken mince, blended red pepper mixture, finely chopped parsley, breadcrumbs and egg yolk. Season generously with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. 

  • Mix everything well with a spoon until fully combined.

  • Shape the mixture into 5 patties, or form longer kebab-style shapes — whatever you prefer!

  • To cook:

– In the oven: Preheat to 200°C (400°F) and bake for 40-45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown on both sides.

– On the BBQ: Grill until golden brown and cooked through.

Tips & Twists

  • Since we're not using any sodium-heavy sauces like Worcestershire or soy sauce, a generous sprinkle of sea salt really helps bring out the flavour of the chicken.

  • For extra texture and flavour, make your own breadcrumbs by blitzing some leftover sourdough bread in a blender—it’s easy and delicious!
