Ingredients

1.5 pound ground chicken
0.25 cup yellow onion (finely diced)
1 clove garlic (minced)
1 egg
1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
0.5 teaspoon fine sea salt
0.25 teaspoon black pepper
2 zucchinis (medium, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds)
0.5 pound fresh asparagus (tough ends trimmed)
1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, gently combine the ground chicken, finely diced yellow onion, minced garlic, large egg, 1/2 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning, 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper. Mix until just combined.
Form the mixture into eight small patties. Place them on one half of the prepared baking sheet.
On the other half of the baking sheet, toss the zucchini rounds with 1/2 tablespoon olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping the patties halfway, until chicken patties are cooked through and zucchini is very tender.
While the patties and zucchini bake, steam the asparagus until very tender. This can be done in a steamer basket over boiling water for 5-7 minutes, or microwaved with a splash of water for 3-5 minutes.
Serve the Golden-Baked Chicken Patties with the soft-baked zucchini and tender asparagus.

Notes

Ensure all vegetables are cooked until very soft for ease of digestion. If you prefer to make this a sheet pan meal, the asparagus can also be roasted on the same pan, tossing with a little olive oil, and ensuring everything cooks until very tender.
