Chicken Patties with Parmesan and Spices
  1. 1

    Preheat an outdoor grill to medium heat and lightly oil the grate.

  2. 2

    Add bread crumbs, onion, garlic, Parmesan cheese, salt, paprika, black pepper, and cayenne pepper to a food processor bowl; pulse until combined.

  3. 3

    Mix the chicken, egg, and bread crumb mixture in a large bowl until evenly combined. Divide and form the mixture into 4 equal patties. Set them on a cookie sheet, cover with aluminum foil, and refrigerate for 5 to 10 minutes.

  4. 4

    Grill the patties on the preheated grill until fully cooked, at least 7 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should register at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
