I truly love starting the day with a good breakfast, and these chicken sausage patties have become one of my favorite ways to make mornings feel a little more special without a lot of extra effort.

They’re also incredibly practical for meal prep. Make a batch at the beginning of the week and reheat them for quick breakfasts on busy mornings. Serve them alongside scrambled eggs, tuck them into an English muffin breakfast sandwich, or enjoy them as part of a bigger weekend breakfast spread. If you’re always looking for make-ahead breakfast ideas, these easy chicken sausage patties are one of those recipes you’ll find yourself reaching for again and again.

How to Make

In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken and seasonings.

Mix gently until just combined. Avoid over-mixing to keep the patties tender.

Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape into patties.

Cook the patties until golden brown.

Serve immediately or allow to cool completely before storing.

Tips and Tricks

• Don’t overmix the chicken mixture. Mix just until the seasonings are incorporated to keep the patties tender and juicy.
• Use a cookie scoop or kitchen scale to portion the patties evenly so they cook at the same rate.
• Wet your hands lightly with water when shaping the patties to prevent the mixture from sticking, or use gloves!
• Double the batch for meal prep. These patties freeze beautifully and are easy to reheat throughout the week.

How to Save and Store

Refrigerator: Allow the patties to cool completely, then store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Freezer: Place cooled patties in a freezer-safe bag or container with parchment paper between layers and freeze for up to 3 months.

Reheating: Warm in a skillet over medium-low heat, in the microwave for 30–60 seconds, or in a 350°F oven until heated through.

Make Ahead: The uncooked sausage mixture can be prepared up to 24 hours in advance and stored covered in the refrigerator before shaping and cooking.

These homemade Chicken Sausage Breakfast Patties are made with ground chicken, maple syrup, and a blend of savory herbs and spices for a lighter take on classic breakfast sausage. Ready in just 20 minutes, they're perfect for meal prep, breakfast sandwiches, or serving alongside your favorite brunch recipes.

Prep Time 5 minutes minutes

Cook Time 10 minutes minutes

Servings 8 patties

Ingredients  

1x2x3x

• 1 pound ground chicken (93% lean)
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon rubbed sage (can sub dried sage)
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• ½ teaspoon dried thyme
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
• Pinch red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

• In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, maple syrup, salt, sage, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, black pepper, paprika, and red pepper flakes if using.
• Mix gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the patties tender.
• Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape into patties about ½-inch thick.
• Heat a large skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with avocado oil or cooking spray.
• Cook the patties for 4–5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
• Serve immediately or allow to cool completely before storing.

Notes

• Rubbed sage gives the most classic breakfast sausage flavor, but dried sage works well too if that’s what you have on hand.
• For slightly sweeter breakfast sausage patties, increase the maple syrup to 1½ tablespoons.
• Ground chicken thighs can be used instead of lean ground chicken for extra juicy patties.
• Adjust the red pepper flakes to your preference or omit them entirely for a milder sausage.
• These patties can be made smaller for breakfast sandwiches or larger for serving alongside eggs, pancakes, and other brunch favorites.
• Always cook to an internal temperature of 165°F for safe consumption.
