Chicken and Zuchinni Poppers
(from cokerlj’s recipe box)
Haven’t tried.
Could be used as an appetizer…but thinking more like a salmon patty to be used as a main meal.

Ingredients
- 1 pound ground chicken breast (think ground turkey would work)
- 2 cup grated zucchini (think yellow squash would work if you don't have zucchini)
- 2-3 green onions, sliced
- 3-4 tablespoons cilantro, minced (maybe use parsley
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 3/4 teaspoon cumin, optional
- olive oil, for cooking
Directions
-
Toss chicken with squash, green onion, cilantro, garlic, salt, and pepper (and cumin, if using). Mixture will be quite wet.
-
Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a medium pan over medium heat. Use a small scoop or a heaped tablespoon to scoop meatballs into the pan or form into patties. Cook for about 5-6 minutes on the first side. Flip and cook an additional 4-5 minutes, or until golden brown and the centers are cooked through.
-
Serve with guacamole, salsa, or your favorite dip if using as an appetizer.
