Breakfast sausage seasonings – this is a seasoning blend of garlic and onion powder, dried oregano, sage, and red crushed pepper flakes. It’s sugar free, savory and makes the ground chicken really taste like sausage.
Olive oil – For frying the sausage patties and giving them a slight sear. You can use vegetable oil or avocado oil instead if you like.
How to Make Chicken Breakfast Sausage Patties
All ingredients, measurements, and instructions are in the recipe card at the bottom of this post.
To a large mixing bowl, add ground chicken and spices. Use clean or gloved hands to gently mix the spices into the meat. Use the tips of your fingers to mix the meat until just combined.
Use a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop to portion the chicken into even balls. Rub your hands with a little bit of olive oil, roll each ball until smooth, and then gently press into patties. We don’t want them too flat.
Preheat your cast-iron skillet on medium heat. Once hot, add 2 teaspoons of olive oil into the skillet, then gently add 3 or 4 patties into the hot skillet. Avoid overcrowding the skillet; leave room around each one and work in batches as needed. Cook for 2 minutes per side.
Transfer chicken breakfast sausages to a plate, then enjoy with your favorite breakfast sides.

Notes
How To Store/ Make Ahead
Store breakfast sausage patties in an air tight container for 3 – 4 days in the fridge. Reheat covered in a 375 degree Fahrenheit oven for 10 minutes or until hot. Freeze by wrapped patties tightly with plastic wrap then store in a freezer safe bag. Freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat from frozen covered in the oven.Tips and Tricks
- If you don’t have ground chicken, you can roughly chop up 1 or 2 chicken breasts then add them to a food processor. Pulse for a few seconds at a time to get the consistency you want.
- Don’t overcook your chicken sausages. Ground chicken can easily become dry, so only cook them for a few minutes per side, until the juices run clear. You can also use a meat thermometer to check for doneness. You’ll know it’s done when the temperature reaches at least 165 degrees Fahrenheit, for a 2-tablespoon patty, that’s about 2 minutes per side.
- Rub your hands with a little bit of oil before rolling or shaping patties so the raw meat mixture doesn’t stick to your hands as much. Rub your cookie scoop or oil too, so the meat mixture doesn’t stick.
- Use plastic gloves if you don’t like touching raw meat.
