Chicken Zucchini Burger Ingredients
- Ground Chicken – Try to get a blend of light and dark meat for the best results. All white meat ground chicken will dry out quicker than a mix.
- Zucchini – Look for smaller zucchini and be sure to squeeze as much moisture of them as possible after shredding.
- Spices and Seasonings – Garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, and salt are used.
- Egg – This acts as a binder for the ingredients.
- Coconut Oil or Similar – This is perfect for cooking the patties.
Mustard Chive Sauce Ingredients
- Mayonnaise – Look for a Paleo compliant one if you want to keep the recipe Paleo.
- Mustard

Essential Items for This Recipe
You can make the patties and freeze them for cooking later too making them perfect for using up all the extra zucchini at the end of the season. That way you can also enjoy these great zucchini patties all year long too.
These taste so good. You could even scoop them into balls and use them as meatballs too. They would make an amazing appetizer for parties. No one will even guess that they are a paleo zucchini recipe either.
