Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat.
Combine chicken, bread crumbs, and two eggs in a large bowl; stir in onion until well combined. If mixture is too dry to form patties, mix in remaining egg. Mix in parsley, salt, and pepper.
