These veggie packed chicken patties are the epitome of a swift, nutritious dinner that demands a special place in your go-to recipes. Their preparation is a breeze, requiring minimal time, yet the result is unbelievably moist and bursting with flavor. What sets these patties apart is the addition of grated carrot and zucchini, not only contributing to their moisture but also introducing an incredible sweetness that elevates the entire experience.

An added bonus: you can prepare the mixture the night before, allowing for an effortless grill session right before supper. This ensures a dinner that's not only super easy and quick but also maintains a commitment to freshness that you won't want to compromise.

• 1/2 tsp pf each paprika, cumin, garlic powder, salt

• 1/4 tsp pepper

• 1 tbsp oil

DIRECTIONS

1. Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl. Mix everything together. If the mixture is too thin, add breadcrumbs.

2. Form patties. Use oil on your hands to help you form nicer patties. They should not be too thick, or the inside wont have time to cook.

3. Heat a grill pan on medium low heat. (Or if you don't have one, use a regular pan). Add some oil to thinly coat the pan.

4. Grill for about 2-3 minutes on first side, then an extra 1-2 minutes on the flip side.
