### How to Make Chicken Patties with Mozzarella

**1. Mix the base:**
In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, egg, garlic, herbs, and spices. Mix until well blended.

**2. Form the patties:**
Scoop out a portion of the chicken mixture and flatten it in your hand. Place a cube or two of mozzarella in the center, then mold the meat around it to seal. Flatten slightly into a patty. Repeat until all patties are formed.

**3. Coat for crispiness (optional):**
For an extra-crispy crust, lightly coat each patty in additional breadcrumbs.

**4. Cook to golden perfection:**
Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook patties for 4–5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and fully cooked through (internal temp: 165°F / 74°C).

**5. Serve hot and melty:**
Serve immediately while the cheese is still melty inside. Pair with salad, rice, buns, or even pasta.
