Method

1. Grate the zucchini and wring it out hard in a cloth. You should get two tablespoons of water; if you do not, wring harder.
2. Mix it with the chicken, egg, flour, paprika and the salt. Shape two patties about 3/4 inch (2 cm) thick and chill them five minutes so they hold.
3. Fry in the oil over medium heat, 5–6 minutes a side, until deep gold and 165°F (74°C) inside. Serve with the cottage cheese, tomato and arugula.
