For a while now, I’ve been swapping ground chicken for ground beef in my meatballs, meat sauce, and other ground beef-based recipes, and I found that my family prefers the milder taste and juicier texture of chicken. This new burger variety went over so well that my son insisted I don’t ever go back to beef burgers. I hope your family enjoys it too!
Yields 10-12 burgers
3 cubes Gefen Frozen Sautéed Onions
3 cubes Gefen Frozen Parsley
2 and 1/4 pounds (1 kilogram) ground chicken
4 and 1/2 ounces (125 grams) sliced pastrami, finely diced
2 cups finely shredded peeled zucchini (approximately 2 medium zucchini)
2 heaping tablespoons Gefen Mayonnaise
1 cup bread crumbs
1 teaspoon garlic powder
2 teaspoons salt
black pepper, to taste
Defrost the onion and parsley cubes in a large bowl and combine with remaining ingredients.
Form chicken mixture into patties.
Grill on a pan for about five minutes per side, or alternatively, broil in the oven.
Enjoy with your favorite condiments.

Good morning
Can I use this recipe to make cooked chicken ball and what would happen if I use 2 eggs instead of zucchini as my husband really does not like it and I never use it not even hidden in recipes, I did once and felt very guilty so I don’t do it as I know that he does not like it. I would use matzoh meal instead of flour, would it still work.
Thank you very much for the daily recipes
Matzo meal instead of bread crumbs, I assume you mean? I would think that would work. In terms of the zucchini, you can skip it and add egg, and even sub a different vegetable if you prefer.
