Ingredients
  

1 lb ground chicken

1 cup fresh buffalo mozzarella, diced into small cubes

1/4 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 tsp onion powder

1/2 tsp smoked paprika

1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (adjust to your desired spice level)

Salt and pepper, to taste

1/2 cup breadcrumbs (panko for extra crunch works wonderfully)

1/2 cup buffalo sauce (plus additional for serving)

1 large egg, beaten

Olive oil, for cooking

Fresh basil leaves, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, chopped parsley, minced garlic, onion powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Use your hands or a spatula to mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly distributed.

    Form the Stuffed Patties: Divide the chicken mixture into four equal portions. Take one portion and press it into a flat disk in your palm. Place 2-3 cubes of fresh buffalo mozzarella in the center of the disk, then carefully fold the edges over the cheese to create a sealed patty. Gently mold the patty into a round shape, ensuring the mozzarella is completely enclosed. Repeat this for the other three portions.

      Breading the Patties: Prepare a breading station by placing the breadcrumbs in one shallow bowl and the beaten egg in another. Dip each chicken patty into the egg to coat it lightly, then roll it in the breadcrumbs until fully covered, pressing slightly to adhere. This will create a deliciously crispy crust.

        Cooking the Patties: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and drizzle in enough olive oil to coat the bottom. Once the oil is shimmering, carefully add the patties to the skillet. Cook each patty for about 4-5 minutes on one side until golden brown, then flip them and cook for another 4-5 minutes, ensuring they are cooked through (the internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C).

          Glaze with Spice: In the final minute of cooking, drizzle buffalo sauce over the sizzling patties, allowing it to bubble and caramelize slightly. This enhances both flavor and appeal.

            Serving the Patties: Once cooked, remove the patties from the skillet and allow them to rest for about a minute. Serve them warm, drizzled with additional buffalo sauce if desired, and garnished with fresh basil leaves for a pop of color and flavor.
