Garlic Jalapeno Chicken Sausage Patties {Paleo, Whole30}

Author: Michele Rosen
Servings: 5

Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp minced fresh jalapeños
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 3 Tbsp red onion minced
  • 2 Tbsp ghee divided
  • 1 lb ground chicken not too lean
  • pinch red cayenne pepper or more, according to taste
  • 1/2 tsp crushed fennel seeds
  • 1/8 tsp allspice
  • 1/4 tsp cumin
  • pinch nutmeg optional
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat 1 Tbsp ghee in a small skillet over med heat. Add minced onion and cook about 30-60 seconds until soft and translucent. Add the jalapeño and garlic, stir, and continue to cook over medium 30-45 seconds until just softened. Remove from heat and allow to cool for a few minutes.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken with all the spices, salt and pepper. Once cooked mixture has cooled a bit (it can still be warm) add it to chicken mixture (along with any ghee still in the skillet) and mix with your hands until evenly distributed.
  3. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and add remaining ghee. Form mixture into small patties about 1/2” thick (you’ll make 8-10) and fry on each side 2-3 minutes or until golden brown, adjusting heat to avoid burning the outside if necessary.
  4. Serve right away, or you can freeze after cooking for later use (meal prep.)

Recipe Notes

*The chicken mixture may be sticky, so wet your hands when forming into patties to make it easier.
