Ingredients

1 pound ground chicken
1 ¼ cup apple, diced I use fuji or gala
⅓ cup white onion, diced
1 tsp garlic powder
½ tsp celery salt or sea salt works
¼ tsp nutmeg
½ tsp cinnamon
½ tsp celery seed
1 tsp dried thyme
½ tsp mustard powder
½ tsp chipotle powder
1 Tbsp oil for frying

Instructions

In a large bowl, add ground chicken, apple, onion, and seasonings. Use a ¼ measuring cup to scoop out meat. Form it into patties and add to a well-oiled skillet. I like the cast iron because it gives it a beautiful, browned crust.
Working in batches, add chicken patties in a single layer and cook for 5-6 minutes, flip, and cook for another 3 minutes or until browned and cooked through (patties will take longer if they are thick) Serve with breakfast or enjoy on a salad.

Notes

If you don't have ground chicken, you can make your own using boneless, skinless chicken breasts. Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes and place the chicken cubes in the food processor. Pulse the chicken in short bursts, about 10-15 times, until it reaches the desired consistency.
Grate or chop the apples finely to evenly combine them with the chicken and onions.
Before cooking, make sure the patties are flattened to about ½ inch thick so that you can easily cook them throughout. If you have thicker patties, you'll need to fry them for a slightly longer time.
Preheat and oil the skillet well before adding the patties to get a golden brown crust.
