The perfect high-protein breakfast sausage without unwanted ingredients. Make homemade maple chicken sausage patties for a delicious meal prep.
Servings: 10 patties
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 lb lean ground chicken
- 1 ¼ tsp salt
- freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp poultry seasoning
- ¼ tsp cayenne pepper
- 2 Tbsp maple syrup
- 2 tsp olive oil
- cooking spray or more olive oil for cooking
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a large mixing bowl.
- Using a gloved hand, mix until spices are evenly distributed.
- Form the mixture into 10 evenly-sized balls and press into 1/4-inch patties. You may wish to lightly grease your gloves to prevent sticking.
- Coat a large non-stick skillet with cooking spray or a thin layer of oil, and heat to medium. Add your patties to the skillet. Gently press them down into the pan with the back of a greased spatula to keep them flat.
- Cook your patties in batches for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Finish your patties with 1-2 minutes of covered cooking until the edges are no longer pink. The internal temperature will read 165 F when they're done.
Notes
- The raw meat in this recipe is very sticky. Use cooking spray on your gloved hand and/or cooking spatula to prevent sticking.
- The sausages can get tough if you make them too thick. Make thin patties and press them into the pan if needed to keep them flat.
- Don't over-cook your chicken sausage patties or they may be tough.
