No, not "chicken little" burgers, how could we eat chicken Little? And no, I don t mean just a little chicken. These easy appetizers are small patties made with ground chicken, get it? And mini burgers is a big thing on the coolest parties these days, so serve them and be cool.

1/2 cup minced Italian parsley
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp dried Basil
2 Tbsp lemon juice
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 to 2 Tbsp and topped with extra-virgin olive oil

Place the bread crumbs in a small shallow dish. Set-aside.

In a large bowl, combine the chicken, garlic, parsley, oregano, Basil and lemon juice. Add salt and pepper to taste. Form the mixture into 16 patties, each flattened and about 2 inches in diameter.

Press the patties in bread crumbs to coat each side.In a large nonstick skillet, heat the oil over medium heat and cook, turn once before each side is browned and patties have firmed, approximately 10 minutes in total. Serve hot.
