• Chicken: For this recipe, we opt for skinless boneless chicken thighs, then grind them in a food processor to make ground chicken. We recommend using fresh chicken thighs over frozen ones for a moist and juicy texture.
• Egg and flour: Egg and flour help bind our patties mixture together.
• Panko breadcrumbs: Panko bread crumbs work as the extender for our ground chicken mixture. Besides breadcrumbs, other possible alternatives are cornflakes and crackers.
• Seasonings: We add salt, pepper, paprika, garlic, onion, garlic powder, and coriander to our patty mixture to give it a delicious mixture of savory and mildly spicy flavors.
• Sweet potatoes: We use Japanese sweet potatoes for this recipe. It gives a starchy and nutty taste. If you prefer a sweeter flavor and more tender texture, then go with Garnet or Jewel sweet potatoes.
• Asparagus: Tender-crisp asparagus adds a refreshing taste and brightens up the dish.
• Sauce: Mix together mayonnaise and ketchup for a slightly sweet and sour sauce that pairs incredibly well with our savory ground chicken patties.

Prep:

1

Prepare the ground chicken: Cut 20 oz skinless boneless chicken thigh into small pieces for easier grinding. Then grind the chicken in a food processor until smooth.

2

Peel around the woody ends of the asparagus with a paring knife or a peeler.

3

Cut the sweet potato: Peel off the skin of the sweet potato and cut it in half crosswise. Cut each half into halves again to make quarters. Place each quarter cut-side down, then cut across them to make 1/4’’ slices. Rinse through the slices with clean water and let dry.

4

Dice the onion: Half the onion lengthwise and peel the skin. Make vertical slices 1/8" apart from each other towards the root, but leave about 1/8" so they're still intact. Turn the half 90 degrees, and grip the root. From the bottom, make horizontal cuts 1/8" apart from each other into the onion, also leaving 1/8" to keep everything intact. Slice the onion to have even cubes.

5

Peel and mince the garlic: Cut to remove the root part of each garlic clove and mash them down with a knife to remove the peel with ease. Mince the peeled cloves.

6

Finely chop the parsley.

7

Finely chop the coriander.

Mix the ground chicken with other ingredients: Add to the ground chicken with 1/2 tsp salt, 2 oz onion, 1/4 cup coriander, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tbsp garlic, 1/2 tsp ground black pepper, 1 tsp paprika, 2 tbsp all-purpose flour, 1 medium egg, and 1/2 cup plain panko breadcrumbs. Mix by hand or with a preferred utensil until the mixture is well-combined.

2

Make the patties: Divide the mixture into 8 even parts, then shape the patties with hands.

3

Marinate 12 oz sweet potatoes in 1 tbsp olive oil.

4

Air-fry the sweet potatoes: Place the sweet potatoes in an air fryer and cook at 400°F for 15 minutes.

5

Make the sauce: In a small bowl, mix together 2 tbsp Japanese mayonnaise and 1 tbsp Heinz ketchup.

6

Pan-sear the patties: In a pan over low heat, add 1 tbsp olive oil and the patties. Pan-sear both sides of the patties for a total of 10 minutes until golden brown. Remove from the heat and set aside.
