In a mixing bowl, combine 1.5 pounds ground chicken, 1/2 cup Italian breadcrumbs, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 2 Tablespoons mayonnaise, 1 Tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon chicken bouillon powder, 1/2 teaspoon paprika, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
Mix the chicken mixture until it is evenly combined. It will be slightly sticky and moist. Do not mix more than necessary to combine.
Split the mixture into 4 equal parts and form each one into a ball. Then flatten into a patty shape, round the edges with your hands. Make sure the patties are larger than the burger bun because they will shrink a little during the cooking process.
Place the patties on a parchment lined baking sheet and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
Preheat the air fryer to 375°F for 4-5 minutes. Brush the air fryer basket with a little olive oil. Place the patties in the basket in a single layer. Brush the tops with olive oil. Cook for 6 minutes.
Then flip and brush the flipped side with olive oil. Cook for another 6-8 minutes. Check that the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove from the air fryer then allow the patties to rest for a couple of minutes.
You can enjoy them as-is or make sandwiches by taking a burger bun and layer green leafy lettuce, a chicken patty, a tomato slice and top it with some garlic aioli or mayonnaise. Then serve.
