  2. Use a ½ cup measure to portion out the patties, shaping each into a round patty about ¾ inch thick.
  3. Preheat a grill pan over medium heat for 3-4 minutes, then add a drizzle of olive oil.
  4. Carefully add chicken patties to the pan, cooking them for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
