Steps

1. In a bowl, combine ground chicken, red curry paste, minced garlic, chopped cilantro, lime juice, fish sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
2. Shape the mixture into 2 equal patties.
3. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and cook the patties for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and golden brown.
