YIELDS: 10-12 patties

Prep Time: 10 Minutes | Total Time: 20 Minutes

INGREDIENTS

• 1 lb lean ground chicken
• 1 medium zucchini, grated and squeezed well of excess moisture
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

• Nonstick, zero-calorie spray

DIRECTIONS

1.    Generously spray a large skillet with non-stick cooking spray.

2.    Combine all the ingredients in a bowl. Mixture should be wet.

3.    Form into patties (1 1/2'' wide for mini patties). Cook however many patties you can fit flat in the skillet, over medium heat for 7-8 minutes.

4.    Cook the remaining patties, in batches if necessary. Serve and enjoy!
