In a small pot, combine the basmati rice and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes.
While rice cooks, grate the zucchini and squeeze out all excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel to ensure the patties stay firm.
In a medium bowl, combine the ground chicken, squeezed zucchini, red onion, garlic, parsley, oregano, and half of the salt and pepper.
Form the chicken mixture into 3 or 4 small, even patties.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the patties and cook for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
Once the rice is done, fluff with a fork and stir in the lemon zest, lemon juice, and the remaining sea salt and black pepper.
Serve the hot chicken patties immediately over the citrusy lemon rice.
