Ingredients

• 3 tbsp. olive oil, divided

1. In a large skillet, heat 1 tbsp. oil over medium-high heat. Add onion; cook and stir until tender, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Remove from heat; cool slightly.

2. In a large bowl, combine 1/4 cup marinara, chopped mozzarella, bread crumbs, seasonings and onion mixture. Add chicken; mix lightly but thoroughly. With wet hands, shape mixture into four patties.
