Gather all ingredients.

Combine ground chicken, onion, 1/4 cup bread crumbs, egg, and garlic in a bowl; season with salt and black pepper.

Moisten hands; shape chicken mixture into 4 flat, oval-shaped patties.

Spread remaining 1/4 cup bread crumbs in a shallow dish; dip patties in bread crumbs to coat.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Add patties; cook until golden and well browned on the bottoms, 5 to 6 minutes.

Flip patties; cook until other sides are browned, 3 to 4 minutes more. Serve and enjoy!
