• Yuzu juice - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic, minced - 1 clove
• Ginger, grated - 1 teaspoon
• Green onion, finely chopped - 2 tablespoons

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, yuzu juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, chopped green onion, gluten-free breadcrumbs, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
2. Form the mixture into two equal patties.
3. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a little oil. Once hot, add the chicken patties and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 75°C.
