Directions

1. Heat a medium non-stick skillet over medium low heat and add the oil, onions, and garlic and stir frequently, about 4-5 minutes, until onion is translucent. Lower heat, if needed, to avoid browning too quickly. Season with salt and pepper. Once onion is softened, add fennel and toss quickly until fragrant and toasted, about 1 minute. Remove mixture to a medium bowl to cool slightly.
2. Add ground chicken, red wine vinegar, chives, paprika, sugar, and nutmeg to bowl with onions, garlic and fennel and mix together with a fork until all ingredients are well-distributed. Form mixture into 6 even patties and lay on parchment or wax paper while working. If you want to make these for another day, they can be refrigerated or frozen.
3. Spray a non-stick skillet and set over medium-low heat. Once hot, brown the patties, in two batches, 3 minutes on each side. Once you have achieved a nice browned crust on each side, reduce heat to low and cover. Continue cooking until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F. Remove from heat and repeat with second batch. Enjoy!
