Ingredients
  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 1 whole large zucchini grated on a box grater, unpeeled
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried onion
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
  • your favorite dipping sauce for serving
Instructions
  1. Pre-heat the oven to 375 and line a sheet tray with a silicone mat or aluminum foil. Make sure the zucchini has been really squeezed out well with paper towel to get out most of the water. Combine all of the ingredients except your dipping sauces in a large bowl and stir it together thoroughly. Use a 1.5 inch cookie scoop to scoop perfect little portions of the mixture. Take each portion and lightly press it down into a mini patty and line them up on the lined sheet tray as you form them. With that measurement you should get about 27. Bake them for 25-30 minutes, until cooked through and they have developed a little color on the outside. Serve immediately with your favorite dippers like salsa, ketchup or HP sauce!
