🧠 LITTLE HISTORY & WHY THIS RECIPE WORKS

Protein patties became popular as a healthy alternative to fried meat dishes. By using ground chicken + yogurt + onion, this recipe keeps the meat:

✔ Moist
✔ Fluffy
✔ High in protein
✔ Low in grease

The onion releases moisture while cooking, and the yogurt tenderizes the meat — that’s the secret behind the juicy texture!

You can shape them into:
