Instructions
Creating these Hidden Veg Chicken Sausages is as simple as following these clear steps:
1. Prepare Veggies: Grate the zucchini and carrots. Use a clean kitchen towel to wring out excess moisture from the zucchini.
2. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, grated zucchini, grated carrots, chopped onion, minced garlic, paprika, oregano, salt, black pepper, breadcrumbs, and the beaten egg. Mix until well combined.
3. Form Sausages: Using your hands, take small portions of the mixture and shape it into sausage links or patties, according to your preference. Ensure they are evenly shaped for consistent cooking.
4. Heat Oil: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
5. Cook Sausages: Add the sausages to the hot skillet. Cook for about 4-6 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
6. Check Doneness: Ensure that the internal temperature of the sausages reaches 165°F (75°C) for food safety.
7. Cool and Serve: Remove from the skillet and let rest on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil before serving.
