Preheat olive oil in a Cast Iron Skillet or other heavy skillet over medium-high heat.
Begin by adding the herbs and spices in a mixing bowl.
Whisk all herbs and spices to create a chicken breakfast sausage seasoning blend.
Add the ground chicken and Hatch Green Chiles to the bowl. Using a spoon or spatula, stir the mixture to ensure the seasoning blend and green chiles are even dispersed throughout the chicken.
Form the mixture into 8 even patties.
In the preheated skillet, lay out 3-4 patties and let them become dark brown and seared on one side, then flip and sear that side. (See Recipe Notes)
Repeat this step with he remainder of your chicken breakfast sausage and serve hot.

Try different spices: Feel free to adjust the seasonings to suit your taste and preferred heat level (spice). While they already have a sweetness, a touch of maple syrup can increase the sweetness to overpower the heat slightly.
Use a non-stick spatula: When placing the patties in the skillet, I use a rubber spatula with a bit of olive oil on it. This way, I can scoop up even-sized amounts of ground chicken and press it out in the shape I want in the skillet. This makes the process hands-off and much more manageable.
