1. Grate the zucchini using a box grater or food processor. Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel or paper towel and squeeze out excess moisture to prevent soggy patties.
2. In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, grated zucchini, fresh corn kernels, chopped red onion, egg, breadcrumbs (if using), garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
3. Mix all ingredients until well combined. Be careful not to overwork the mixture to ensure tender patties.
4. Divide the mixture into 4-6 equal portions and shape each into a patty, about 3/4 inch thick. If too sticky, moisten your hands with water or oil to shape the patties.
5. Grill or pan-fry the patties (see cooking methods below).

Cooking Techniques:

• Grilling: Preheat grill to medium-high heat, brush with olive oil, and cook patties for 4-5 minutes per side until internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

Pan-Frying: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook patties for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and fully cooked.
