Ingredients
- 30 grams (1/4 cup) green onions, finely chopped
- 500 grams (1 lb) chicken breast, finely diced or ground
- 2 tablespoons sour cream
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 80 grams (3/4 cup) mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon dry garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika

Instructions
-
In a large bowl, mix the diced or ground chicken with the green onions, parsley, and shredded mozzarella cheese.
-
Add the sour cream, eggs, and flour, stirring until everything is well combined.
-
Season the mixture with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix again until you get a thick, uniform consistency.
-
Heat a few tablespoons of oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat.
-
Scoop small portions of the chicken mixture into the pan, forming patties. Cook for 3–4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.

Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.

- If using ground chicken instead of diced, the texture will be softer, but still delicious.
