- 1 cup bread crumbs
- ¼ cup minced onion
- 2 cloves garlic, minced

Steps
- Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
- Place bread crumbs, onion, garlic, Parmesan cheese, salt, paprika, black pepper, and cayenne pepper into the bowl of a food processor; pulse until blended.
- Combine chicken, egg, and bread crumb mixture in a large bowl until evenly mixed. Divide and shape mixture into 4 equal patties. Place on a cookie sheet and cover with aluminum foil. Refrigerate for 5 to 10 minutes.
